Understanding the complex pharmacological changes that occur with ageing is critical to informed prescribing, yet much of today's practice in geriatric prescribing continues to be based on anecdotal evidence and case report data instead of controlled research studies. Navigating the vast database in geriatric psychopharmacology is a daunting task at best, leaving many clinicians overwhelmed and confused, and opening the door to potentially dangerous consequences for some of the most fragile patients. In this text, three experienced pharmacologists provide a practical "how to" guide to clinical geriatric prescribing, drawing upon their own first-hand clinical experience and their reading of the literature in geriatric psychopharmacology.
