Cíle předmětu
The spectrum of pharmaceuticals used in elderly people presents many significant changes, and generally has an upward trend to polypharmacotherapy. In this group of patients, problems like polymorbidity, nutritional problems and increased risk of non-compliance are typical. Changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in combination with this fact may lead to serious adverse side-effects and drug interactions. Geriatric pharmacotherapy has the potential to be therapeutic, but can also be toxic. The aim of the lectures is to point out the difficulties in choosing the appropriate therapy in the context of the development of pathophysiological changes in connection with higher age.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course the student will be able to characterize important changes in the physiology of the aging organism and define the basic disease conditions together with pharmacotherapeutic approaches. The student will be able to assess the properties of drugs and identify possible adverse effects and interactions resulting from changes in the elderly as a basis for safe and rational pharmacotherapy and drug counseling.
