Popis:	Although elderly persons tend to be more sensitive to the effects and side effects of medications, most drugs are well tolerated if used judiciously. This chapter reviews some of the factors that contribute to this sensitivity, general approaches to prescribing, signs and symptoms to monitor, and highlights of certain drug categories that are commonly used or have substantial potential to cause side effects.
