Abstract

As patient ages, the medications they take can sometimes cause more harm than good even though medications they have tolerated well for many years. As the population ages it is more important than ever to become familiar with the adverse effects associated with commonly prescribed medications. This presentation will serve to educate providers about this commonly prescribed medication, the adverse effects they cause, and how to best manage these conditions when the “offending” medication is removed.
