In old age - everything different? The medication therapy of older patients presents a tremendous challenge: multimorbidity, polypharmacy, frailty, barriers to adherence, and impaired cognition place the highest demands on pharmaceutical care. In this work, the editorial team and authors combine their extensive experience. They sharpen your awareness of the specific needs of this age group and demonstrate ways to optimize their medication treatment. Topics include: care at home, in nursing homes, and in hospitals, as well as pharmaceutical, medical, nursing, and legal aspects, along with interdisciplinary and multiprofessional approaches. This work provides you with the necessary confidence in your consultations - ensuring a better quality of life for your older patients.
