title: [Geriatric Pharmacotherapy in Urology: An Introduction from a Geriatric Pharmacist's Perspective].
abstract: In Germany, too, adverse drug events (ADEs) have been identified as a central problem in the care of geriatric patients. Especially in elderly patients with multimorbidity and increasing frailty, ADEs are among the most frequent and cost-intensive causes of illness in healthcare. In most cases, they are due to drug-related diseases, which necessitate enhanced risk awareness and improved cooperation between physicians, medical specialists, geriatric nurses and pharmacists. In this context, the use of urologic medication for geriatric patients requires particular attention by the consultant.
