Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

78
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

80
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Dementia

280
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

75
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview01:15

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

4.1K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Gerontology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Community pharmacies are vital points of contact for healthcare.
  • There is a growing need to support the increasing population of people with dementia.
  • Existing frameworks for dementia-friendly community pharmacies were limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and launch a dementia-friendly framework for community pharmacies in England.
  • To establish clear criteria for pharmacies to achieve dementia-friendly status.
  • To improve community pharmacy support for individuals with dementia.

Main Methods:

  • A framework with 38 essential criteria across seven domains was co-developed with stakeholders.
  • Engagement events launched the framework, and pharmacies self-certified compliance online.
  • Validation activity assessed the accuracy of self-certification.

Main Results:

  • 355 pharmacies (70%) engaged with the initiative.
  • 330 pharmacies met all essential criteria.
  • Validation confirmed high accuracy of self-certification, with staff reporting increased awareness in supporting people with dementia.

Conclusions:

  • A dementia-friendly framework for community pharmacies was successfully devised and implemented.
  • The framework achieved a high level of uptake and positive impact on pharmacy practice.
  • This initiative demonstrates a scalable model for enhancing dementia care in community settings.
