@article{Teo_2017, title={Sensible prescribing for older adults: illustrated cases}, volume={65}, url={https://www.jgerontology-geriatrics.com/article/view/151}, abstractNote={<p>Older adults are especially vulnerable to adverse drug events leading to emergency hospitalisations. Clinicians<br>should aim to ensure the maximum benefit from medications and few adverse effects by avoiding excessive,<br>inappropriate or inadequate prescribing. Sensible prescribing for older people requires knowledge of guideline<br>based therapy, principles of safe prescribing, drug interactions and checking patient compliance in taking<br>medications correctly. Real case examples are provided here to allow application of these principles and to<br>highlight several important points in sensible prescribing for older people.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF GERONTOLOGY AND GERIATRICS}, author={Teo, S.P.}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={130-133} }
