Overview
Explicite criteria of potentially inappropriate medications in the old age present a fundamental and simple instrument for rational prescribing in geriatrics, useful in everyday clinical practice and for education of physicians, nurses and pharmacists. This article summarizes expert consensus of medications potentially inappropriate in the old age for the Czech Republic (2012), new explicite recommendations published by American Geriatric Society in 2012 year (updated 2012 Beers criteria) and discusses contribution of clinical pharmacists in the care for geriatric patients.
Key words:
geriatrics – potentially inappropriate medications – Czech explicite criteria 2012 – role of clinical pharmacists
