Review: This book may help you save your life or that of a loved one. - As a health care provider and caregiver for elderly relatives I recommend this book to anyone in the medical profession and to all those with elderly family members/those over 65. Excellent - well researched and explained.
Review: Older people are different! - This important book shines a spotlight on an important issue that is not well understood by prescribers or patients. Older adults respond to medicines differently from younger adults. Physicians and other prescribers too often assume that treating diabetes or hypertension (or many other conditions) in an elderly person can be done the same as in younger adults. The consequences of this misperception can be very hazardous to the patient. Most health professionals are trained with a curriculum that focuses on learning about diseases or learning about drugs, rather than learning how to manage the total patient. The United States has fewer than 7,000 physicians who specialize in geriatrics and the number is declining. With the number of older adults increasing rapidly, there is a tremendous need for education of prescribers about how to use medications in the elderly. This concise and easy to read book makes a major contribution toward increasing awareness and providing basic education about principles of using (not overusing!) medications in older adults.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book made my elderly mother a new person — thank you so much!
*by N***A on November 26, 2012*

I read about this book in the NY Times and was concerned about my mother who had been taking several medications which over time had turned her into a person I did not recognize. The main culprit was Amiodorone and it was a drug that was #1 on Armon Neel's list of dangerous drugs for seniors. My mother already has a mild case of COPD and was put on this strong, severe and dangerous medication for a minor heart episode, although Mr. Neel says that it should only be used under dire circumstances and under strict supervision, neither of which described my mother. Not only was it making her COPD worse, as Mr. Need states so emphatically, it was also making her dizzy, unsure of herself, depressed and in a type of a daze. This book gave her the confidence to stop taking it and seek a new doctor. Just 3 months after discontinuing its use (along with stopping a few other drugs she apparently did not need), she is really on the road back to being herself and so much better, it's amazing. The overmedication is seniors is a crime and this is a life saving and enlightening book.
