Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview

When it comes to infants and young children, they are typically administered smaller doses of medication in comparison to adults. This is primarily because their organ functions still need to fully develop, meaning their bodies are not as efficient at metabolizing or eliminating drugs. Additionally, their blood-brain barrier is more permeable than in adults. As a result, high concentrations of drugs can easily penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), potentially leading to neurological...

Drug Therapy

Drug Therapy

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose

Rational Dosage Regimen: Maintenance Dose and Loading Dose

A rational dosage regimen considers a drug's pharmacokinetics, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination from the body. By understanding these factors, the appropriate dosage can be determined, and the dosing schedule can be designed to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse effects.
In most cases, drugs are administered repetitively or infused continuously to maintain a steady-state concentration in the body. At a steady...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

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...

Dosage Regimen: Fixed Dose

Dosage Regimen: Fixed Dose

Fixed-dose regimens are a common approach to administer drugs to achieve and maintain desired levels of the drug in the body. In this dosing strategy, a specific amount of medication is given at regular intervals, often multiple times a day, to ensure a consistent drug concentration in the bloodstream.
Fixed-dose regimens can be used for various routes of administration, including intravenous (IV) injections and oral medications. For IV administration, a predetermined amount of the drug is...

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Pharmacology
Interprofessional Healthcare

Background:

Age-Friendly 4Ms framework promotes holistic care for older adults.
Pharmacists play a key role in optimizing medication regimens for seniors.
Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for comprehensive geriatric care.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an interprofessional framework for optimizing medication regimens in older patients.
To demonstrate the application of the Age-Friendly 4Ms in a clinical case.
To highlight pharmacist-led deprescribing strategies.

Main Methods:

Utilized the Age-Friendly 4Ms framework (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, Mobility).
Reviewed and adjusted patient's medication regimen.
Employed interprofessional collaboration with social work, physical therapy, and primary care.

Main Results:

Optimized medication regimen to align with patient's "What Matters" goal.
Addressed issues of unsteadiness, low energy, and difficulty focusing.
Facilitated patient's return to volunteer work.

Conclusions:

The Age-Friendly 4Ms framework provides a structured approach to medication management in older adults.
Interprofessional collaboration enhances the effectiveness of medication optimization and deprescribing.
Pharmacists are vital champions for Age-Friendly care, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
