"Through medication therapy management (MTM), pharmacists can play an important role in identifying drugs that are inappropriate for older adults."

This core focus from a recent Pharmacy Times article highlights one of the most critical objectives in senior care today: reducing inappropriate medication use in older adults to improve safety and clinical outcomes.

Through Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs), pharmacists bridge the gap between abstract guidelines and real-world safety. Whether it is identifying hidden anticholinergics in over-the-counter combination products or evaluating the long-term risks of PPIs, targeted clinical oversight is vital.

True clinical leadership involves actively screening for high-risk complications like confusion and falls, educating patients on OTC safety, and proactively collaborating on safer therapeutic alternatives.

The article, written by Jennifer Gershman, PharmD, CPh, PACS, is well worth the read for healthcare professionals focused on senior care, medication safety, and clinical outcomes.
