  • Title: [How to reduce iatropathology in elderly patients].
    Author: Bouchon JP.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1990 May 21; 40(15):1371-4. PubMed ID: 2356426.
    Abstract:
    Adverse reactions to drugs are known to be more frequent in elderly people than in young adult subjects, but there is no doubt that they could be considerably reduced if certain rules of prescription were applied. Iatropathology is not unavoidable. The various points in prescriptions that might induce adverse reactions and the means of avoiding such reactions based on the particularities of geriatric medicine are reviewed in the article.
