    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin are commonly used by older adults.
    • These medications carry risks, especially with long-term use or high doses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline essential monitoring and patient counseling for older adults using NSAIDs or high-dose aspirin.
    • To emphasize proactive management to mitigate potential adverse effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Recommends comprehensive laboratory evaluations including blood count, urinalysis, BUN/creatine, potassium, and serum transaminases.
    • Advocates for detailed medication reviews with patients, focusing on rationale and regular adherence.
    • Suggests physician warnings against unorthodox medications and treatments.

    Main Results:

    • Regular laboratory monitoring (several times yearly) is crucial for early detection of complications.
    • Thorough patient education on medication use and risks is essential.
    • Addressing patient adherence and discouraging unverified treatments are key components of care.

    Conclusions:

    • Proactive and regular monitoring, coupled with comprehensive patient education, is vital for the safe use of NSAIDs and aspirin in older populations.
