Sr Care Pharm. 2021 Aug 1;36(8):363-364. doi: 10.4140/TCP.n.2021.363.

Abstract

The July issue of The Senior Care Pharmacist featured two excellent articles about the essential role of pharmacists in reducing falls and falls-risk factors among older people. It is up to senior care pharmacists to contribute to a rational and balanced discussion of pharmacotherapy options, which are best achieved through a multidisciplinary approach where the pharmacist?s unique and important input can be integrated into the treatment plan.
