Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often diagnosed with other comorbid conditions. This can complicate therapy overall by contributing to adverse events leading to poor outcomes to not only COPD, but other comorbid conditions. This manuscript will discuss common comorbid conditions often seen with COPD, update vaccination recommendations for COPD patients, and provide information regarding smoking cessation in COPD. The senior care pharmacist has an important role where they can recommend medication adjustments to potentially avoid these adverse events, immunize their patients appropriately, and provide assistance with smoking cessation to improve not only COPD outcomes but outcomes associated with other comorbid conditions.
