In this article we explore those factors that should be considered when choosing a drug for the elderly and then discuss how this approach can be applied to specific classes of drugs and diseases. The principles of efficacy, side effect profile, ease of administration, interaction with other drugs or concomitant illness, cost, and constant reevaluation of the need for continued treatment should be remembered for any treatment. Using these principles, we suggest alternative drug therapies that may be worth considering in the elderly. |
