Description and Table of Contents
Description
This 2nd edition presents an integrated approach to drug treatment of elderly patients. The authors go beyond the basics of geriatric pharmacology to provide the most current information available on the relative advantages and disadvantages of each drug. This book appears at a time when the growth in the elderly population coincides with an ever larger pharmacopoeia, and information on both the drugs and the populations' particular medical and psychiatric problems is critically important.
