ELDERLY ILLNESSES AND DRUGS

From BuyFag Guide

Jump to: navigation, search

🦄 A little bit of positivity for everyone :D

The elderly are becoming a larger part of our population, with the number over
85 expected to triple by 2050. This growing group of patients needs to be
recognized as a priority for health care providers.

Elderly Illnesses

Older people are at risk for many diseases and conditions, including cancer,
heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, hearing loss, vision
loss, and more. These illnesses can make it difficult for older people to stay
at home or continue to live independently.

Often, they have more than one chronic medical disorder and need medication to
treat multiple conditions. These drugs tend to be taken for years and may cause
side effects.

Drugs Help Control Illnesses

For example, medications for high blood pressure (antihypertensives) can prevent
a heart attack or stroke. Medical alert Antibiotics can kill or slow the growth
of bacteria that cause pneumonia and other serious infections.

They can also keep infections at bay and protect older people from developing
new ones. These medications also can help reduce symptoms and discomfort of
certain types of pain.

Drugs Can Lead to Harm

Because of the accumulated pathology in the body, drugs can be less effective in
an older person's body and increase the chance of side effects, such as nausea
or abnormal heart rhythms. This is especially true of medications that dissolve
in water and are eliminated by the kidneys.

In addition, many medications interact with other prescription or
over-the-counter drugs. For example, some antipsychotics can make it hard for
elderly people to get enough sleep and are more likely to cause problems with
breathing or agitation. This is a concern for elderly people who are taking many
drugs, especially those to treat heart disease or diabetes.
