Geriatric pharmacotherapy, the specialized branch of medicine focused on medication management for elderly individuals, plays a crucial role in addressing the unique healthcare needs of the aging population. As individuals age, physiological changes and the presence of multiple coexisting medical conditions often necessitate careful consideration when prescribing medications. One of the key principles in geriatric pharmacotherapy is tailoring drug regimens to accommodate factors such as renal function, hepatic metabolism, and potential drug interactions. Polypharmacy, the concurrent use of multiple medications, is a common concern in the elderly, requiring vigilant monitoring to prevent adverse drug reactions. Geriatric pharmacotherapy also emphasizes a patient-centered approach, considering factors like cognitive function, mobility, and quality of life. Comprehensive medication reviews and deprescribing efforts are essential to optimize therapeutic outcomes and reduce the risk of medication-related problems. Additionally, healthcare providers must be aware of the Beers Criteria, a list of potentially inappropriate medications for older adults, to guide prescribing decisions. Advancements in technology and telehealth are increasingly being utilized to enhance medication management in elderly populations, promoting adherence and minimizing medication-related issues.
