Abstract
Potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) are those for which the risk of adverse drug reaction outweighs the clinical benefit. These are a major concern in elderly individuals with various medical conditions. Polypharmacy and the resultant increased potential for drug‐drug interaction (DDI) in this population further compounds the problem, leading to increased risk of morbidity and mortality, reflecting age‐related altered physiological and functional states that affect drugs’ pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
