How drugs may interact and cause adverse reactions

Reference no: EM133664188

Assignment:

When you consider that the average 65-year-old American takes 13-16 medications at any given time, the worry of polypharmacy, drug interactions, and adverse reactions is very real! In this post, I would like you to share a clinical experience you may have had where pharmacokinetics have had to be considered and why. It is not enough to post "I had to measure CrCl because the patient was old". Think about how drugs may interact and cause adverse reactions, near-misses, or events that necessitate a re-visit to a health care provider.
