The Consultant pharmacist : the journal of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists September 1, 2010 Janice Hoffman 1 citation
A 77-year-old man who attended the Woodstock concert and was part of the 1960s counterculture was referred to a geriatric assessment clinic for worsening cognition. The case highlights the importance of taking a complete medication history in elderly patients, including past and present substance abuse and dietary supplements. Consultant pharmacists who understand alcohol and substance abuse and its effects on drug regimens can recommend dosage adjustments to improve quality of life.
