Institution/department: Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy Title of diploma thesis: Evaluation of the rationality of prescribing of selected potentially inappropriate medications in ambulatory geriatric patients Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Daniela Fialova, PharmDr. Ph.D. Author: Roman Lestina Introduction: Rational therapy in the geriatric population is an essential area due to the ever-increasing percentage of geriatric patients in the population. Due to the frequent polypharmacotherapy in these patients, including possible polypragmatism, it is important to constantly monitor potential drug problems and address potential drug risks in a timely manner.
