Comprehensive drug review

1\) Geriatric assessment including medical history, physical examination, supplementary tests. The geriatric work-up will be aimed at evaluating whether current medications are indicated, whether the relevant conditions are satisfactorily compensated, whether the dosages are appropriate, whether the patient has symptoms that may in reality be adverse drug effects, and whether drug-drug interactions or drug-disease interactions are likely to occur. 2) Conference with common drug review. The project physician and the family physician will discuss the patient's drug list systematically. 3) Individualized clinical follow-up depending on the medication changes that have been done.
