El farmacéutico necesita identificar los medicamentos contraindicados o inapropiados en estos pacientes, las interacciones que se presentan con más frecuencia teniendo en cuenta las patologías concomitantes, los efectos adversos más comunes y si se requiere un ajuste de la dosis en el tratamiento. En este trabajo se han analizado algunas de estas herramientas y su utilidad en el seguimiento del paciente polimedicado. Los resultados de este análisis muestran que los criterios Screening Tool of Older People's potentially inappropriate Prescriptions (STOPP)/Screening Tool to Alert doctors to the Right Treatment (START) y el uso del Sistema Personalizado de Dosificación (SPD) pueden ser buenas opciones para realizar las revisiones terapéuticas periódicas en este grupo de pacientes y conocer su adhesión al tratamiento (AU)
