Drugs & Aging, 07/28/09
Dzierba AL et al. – The adverse effects of standard therapy for COPD may also be more pronounced in elderly patients. A careful risk–versus–benefit assessment should always be carried out when prescribing long–term inhaled bronchodilator and corticosteroid therapy to an elderly COPD patient, and when prescribing ?2–adrenoceptor agonists and methylxanthines, in particular, to those with cardiovascular co–morbidities. The present review focuses on the special considerations regarding initiation and maintenance of pharmacotherapy in elderly patients with stable COPD.
