This book is designed to be a practical and convenient guide to
the dosing and usage of medications in the geriatric population. As
the percentage of the population over the age of 65 increases, most
health care professionals will be faced with the challenge of
knowing the appropriate use of medications in older adults. The
objective in producing this handbook is to provide the reader with
specific considerations when using medications in older adults.
With each new edition, newly approved medications that are used in
the geriatric population are added.
