title: Adverse drug reactions in the elderly: case studies.
abstract: ADRs in the elderly may present in an atypical manner. Atypical reactions are uncommon and usually cannot be anticipated from the chemical or pharmacologic properties of the drug. In many cases, you may find a careful and thorough drug history and knowledge of drug-related reactions more helpful than an array of laboratory data.
