Download or read book Pharmacokinetics and Drug Interactions in the Elderly and Special Issues in Elderly African-American Populations written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-08-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports in the popular press about the increasing longevity of Americans and the aging of the baby boom generation are constant reminders that the American population is becoming older. Consequently, an issue of growing medical, health policy, and social concern is the appropriate and rational use of medications by the elderly. Although becoming older does not necessarily correlate with increasing illness, aging is associated with anatomical and physiological changes that affect how medications are metabolized by the body. Furthermore, aging is often related to an increased frequency of chronic illness (often combined with multiple health problems) and an increased use of medications. Thus, a better understanding of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs; of the physiologic responses to those medications; as well as of the interactions among multiple medications is crucial for improving the health of older people.

Book Synopsis Prescription Drugs and the Elderly by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Prescription Drugs and the Elderly written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the elderly's inappropriate use of prescription drugs, focusing on: (1) whether the inappropriate use of prescription drugs by the elderly is widely viewed as a serious health problem; (2) the ways prescription drugs are used inappropriately and why these situations occur; (3) how public knowledge of prescription drugs can be improved; and (4) how emerging trends in health care delivery affect drug prescribing for the elderly. GAO found that: (1) the inappropriate prescription drug use is a serious health risk for the elderly, since they take more prescription drugs than other age groups, they often take several drugs at once, resulting in adverse drug reactions, and they do not efficiently eliminate drugs from their systems due to decreased body function; (2) the percentage of Medicare recipients over 65 using unsuitable prescription drugs dropped from 25 percent in 1987 to 17.5 percent in 1992; (3) inappropriate prescription drug use results from physicians using outdated prescribing practices, pharmacists not performing drug utilization reviews, and patients not informing their physician and pharmacist of all the drugs they are taking; (4) to address the problem of inappropriate prescription drug use, the government is working to disseminate information on the effect of prescription drugs on the elderly, the medical community is working to increase physicians' knowledge of geriatrics, and patients are increasingly seeking information about their drug therapies; and (5) enrollment in managed care plans has grown rapidly, particularly among senior citizens, allowing for the potential to improve the coordination of drug therapies for newly enrolled elderly patients.

Book Synopsis The Risks of Prescription Drugs by : Donald Light
Download or read book The Risks of Prescription Drugs written by Donald Light and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people realize that prescription drugs have become a leading cause of death, disease, and disability. Adverse reactions to widely used drugs, such as psychotropics and birth control pills, as well as biologicals, result in FDA warnings against adverse reactions. The Risks of Prescription Drugs describes how most drugs approved by the FDA are under-tested for adverse drug reactions, yet offer few new benefits. Drugs cause more than 2.2 million hospitalizations and 110,000 hospital-based deaths a year. Serious drug reactions at home or in nursing homes would significantly raise the total. Women, older people, and people with disabilities are least used in clinical trials and most affected. Health policy experts Donald Light, Howard Brody, Peter Conrad, Allan Horwitz, and Cheryl Stults describe how current regulations reward drug companies to expand clinical risks and create new diseases so millions of patients are exposed to unnecessary risks, especially women and the elderly. They reward developing marginally better drugs rather than discovering breakthrough, life-saving drugs. The Risks of Prescription Drugs tackles critical questions about the pharmaceutical industry and the privatization of risk. To what extent does the FDA protect the public from serious side effects and disasters? What is the effect of giving the private sector and markets a greater role and reducing public oversight? This volume considers whether current rules and incentives put patients' health at greater risk, the effect of the expansion of disease categories, the industry's justification of high U.S. prices, and the underlying shifts in the burden of risk borne by individuals in the world of pharmaceuticals. Chapters cover risks of statins for high cholesterol, SSRI drugs for depression and anxiety, and hormone replacement therapy for menopause. A final chapter outlines six changes to make drugs safer and more effective. Suitable for courses on health and aging, gender, disability, and minority studies, this book identifies the Risk Proliferation Syndrome that maximizes the number of people exposed to these risks.
