Safety of combination pharmacotherapy in elderly patients

The article reviews literature data on adverse reactions to drugs. The frequency of suspected adverse reactions in indoor patients over 60 years old is 2-3 times higher than that in patients younger than 30 years. This is due to peculiarities of drugs pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, meta...
