Drug name or class Propoxyphene (Darvon) and combination products (Darvocet-N, Darvon-N, Darvon with ASA) Indomethacin (Indocin and Indocin SR) Pentazocine (Talwin) Muscle relaxants and antispasmodics: Most muscle relaxants and antispasmodic drugs are poorly methocarbamol (Robaxin), tolerated by elderly patients, since these cause anticholinergic carisoprodol(soma), chlorzoxazone(paraflex), adverse effects, sedation, and weakness. Additionally, their metaxalone(skelaxin), effectiveness at doses tolerated by elderly patients is cyclobenzaprine(flexeril), and questionable. oxybutynin(ditropan). Do not consider the exteded-release Ditropan XL. Flurazepam(Dalmane) Amitriptyline(Elavil), chlordiazepoxideamitriptyline(limbitrol), and perphenazineamitriptyline(travil) commnents Offers few analgesic advantages over acetaminophen, yet has the adverse effects of other narcotic drugs. Of all available nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, this drug produces the most CNS adverse effects. Narcotic analgesic that causes more CNS adverse effects, including confusion and hallucinations, more commonly than other narcotic drugs. Additionally, it is a mixed agonist and antagonist. This benzodiazepine hypnotic has an extremely long half-life in elderly patients (often days), producing prolonged sedation and increasing the incidence of falls and fracture. Medium- or shortacting benzodiazepines are preferable. Because of its strong anticholinergic and sedation properties, amitriptyline is rarely the antidepressant of choice for elderly patients. Severity (high or low) Doxepin(Sinequan) Meprobamate (Miltown and Equanil) Doses of short-acting benzodiazepines: Because of increased sensitivity to benzodiazepines in elderly doses greater than lorazepam (Ativan) 3mg, patients, smaller doses may be effective as well as safer. Total oxazepam (Serax) 60mg, triazolam (Halcion) daily doses should rarely exceed the suggested maximums. 0.25mg, alprazolam (Xanax) 2mg, temazepam (Restoril) 15mg Long-acting benzodiazepines: chlordiazepoxide(alone or in combination:librium, Librax), diazepam (Valium),quazepam(Doral), halazepam(paxipam), and chlorazepate (Tranxene) Digoxin (Lanoxin) (should not exceed 0.125 mg/d except when treating atrial arrhythmias) Short-acting dipyridamole (Persantine). Do not consider the long-acting dipyridamole(which has better properties than the short-acting in older adults) except with patients with artificial heart valves Because of its strong anticholinergic and sedation properties, doxepin is rarely the antidepressant of choice for elderly patients. This is a highly addictive and sedating anxiolytic. Those using meprobamate for prolonged periods may become addicted and may need to be withdrawn slowly. These drugs have a long half-life in elderly patients (often several days), producing prolonged sedation and increasing the risk of falls and fractures. Short- and intermediate-acting benzodiazepines are preferred If benzodiazepine therapy is required. Decreased renal clearance may lead to increased risk of toxic effect. May cause orthostatic hypotension. Methyldopa (Aldomet) Methyldopa-hydrochlorothiazide (Aldoril) Reserpine at doses > 0.25mg Chlorpropamide (Diabinese) Anticholinergics and antihistamines chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), hydroxyzine (Vistaril and Atarax), cyprohetadine (Periactin), promethazine(phenergan), tripelennamine, dexchlorpheniramine(polaramine) May cause bradycardia and can exacerbate depression in elderly patients. May induce depression, impotence, sedation, and orthostatic hypotension. It has a prolonged half-life in elderly patients and could cause prolonged hypoglycemia. Additionally, it is the only oral hypoglycemic agent that causes SIADH. GI antispasmodic drugs: dicyclomine GI antispasmodic drugs highly anticholinergic and have (Bentyl), hyoscyamine(levsin and uncertain effectiveness. These drugs should be avoided Levsinex), propantheline(pro-banthine), (especially for long-term use). belladonna alkaloids(donnatal and others), and clidinium-chlordiazepoxide(librax) All nonprescription and many prescription antihistamines can have potent anticholinergic properties. Nonanticholinergic antihistamines are preferred in elderly patients when treating allergic reactions. Ferrous Sulfate >325mg/d All barbiturates (except phenobarbital) except when used to control seizure Meperidine (Demerol) Ticlopidine (Ticlid) Ketorolac(Toradol) Amphetamines and anorexic agents Doses >325mg/d do not dramatically increase the amount absorbed but greatly increase the incidence of constipation. Are highly addictive and cause more adverse effects than most sedative or hypnotic drugs in elderly patients. Not an effective oral analgesic in doses commonly used. May cause confusion and has many disadvantages to other narcotic drugs. Has been shown to be better than aspirin in preventing clotting and may be considerably more toxic. Safer, more effective alternatives exist. Immediate and long-term use should be avoided in older persons, since a significant number have asymptomatic GI pathologic conditions These drugs have potential for causing dependence, hypertension, angina, and myocardial infarction. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) Ergot Mesyloids (Hydergine) and Cyclandelate May cause confusion and sedation. Should not be used as hypnotics, and when used to treat emergency allergic reactions, it should be used in the smallest possible doses. Have not been shown effective in the doses studied. Long-term use of full-dosage, longer half-life, non-cox selective NSAIDs: naproxen (Naprosyn, Avaprox,and Aleve), oxaprozin(daypro), and piroxicam (Feldene) Have the potential to produce GI bleeding, renal failure, high blood pressure, and heart failure. Daily Fluoxetine (Prozac) Long half-life of drug and risk of producing excessive CNS stimulation, sleep disturbances, and increasing agitation. Safer alternatives exist. Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin) Potential for renal impairment. Safer alternatives available. Long-term use of stimulant laxatives: bisacodyl (Dulcolax),Cascara sagrade, and Neoloid except in the presence of opiate analgesic use Amiodarone (Cordarone) May exacerbate bowel dysfunction. Associated with QT interval problems and risk of provoking torsades de pointes. Lack of efficacy in older adults. Doxazosin (Cardura) Methyltestosterone (Android, Virilon, and Testrad) Potential for hypotension, dry mouth, and urinary problems. Potential for prostatic hypertrophy and cardiac problems. Orphenadrine (Norflex) Causes more sedation and anticholinergic adverse effects than safer alternatives Thioridazine (Mellaril) Greater potential for CNS and extrapyramidal side effects. Guanethidine (Ismetin) May cause orthostatic hypotension. Safer alternatives exist. Mesoridazine (Serentil) CNS and extrapyramidal adverse effects. Guanadrel (Hylorel) May cause orthostatic hypotension. Cyclandelate (Cyclospasmol) Isoxsurpine (Vasodilan) Lack of efficacy Lack of efficacy Short-acting nifedipine (Procardia and Adalat) Potential for hypotension and constipation. - 284 -

이상화 : 노인에서약동학적특징과다약제사용시주의점 Clonidine (Catapres) Mineral oil Cimetidine (Tagamet) Ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) Potential for orthostatic hypotension and CNS adverse effects. Potential for aspiration and adverse effects. Safer alternatives are available. CNS adverse effects including confusion. Potential for hypotension and fluid imbalances. Safer alternatives are available. Beer s Criteria The following medications should be avoided in persons aged 65 years and over, who have the following health conditions and diagnoses Desiccated thyroid Concerns about cardiac effects. Safer alternatives are available. Amphetamines (excluding methylphenidate HCl and anorexics) CNS stimulation adverse effects. Estrogens only (oral) Evidence of the carcinogenic (breast and endometrial cancer) potential of these agents and lack of cardioprotective effect in older women. Disease or Condition Heart Failure Hypertension Gastric or duodenal ulcers Seizure disorders Drug Name or Class Disopyramide (Norpace), and high sodium content drugs (sodium and sodium salts [alginate bicarbonate, biphosphate, citrate, phosphate, salicylate and sulfate]) Phenylpropanolamine HCl (removed from the market in 2001), pseudoephedrine, diet pills, and amphetamines NSAIDs (COX-2 inhibitors excluded) and aspirin >325mg/d Clozapine (Clozaril), chlorpromazine (Thorazine), thioridazine (Mellaril), and thiothixene (Navane) Disorders of blood clotting Aspirin, NSAIDs, dipyridamole (Persantin), (including anticoagulant ticlopidine (Ticlid), and clopidogrel (Plavix) therapy) Comments Negative inotropic effect. Potential to promote fluid retention and exacerbation of heart failure. May produce elevation of blood pressure secondary to Sympathomimetic activity. May exacerbate existing ulcer disease or produce new/additional ulcers. May lower the seizure threshold. May prolong clotting time and elevate INR values or inhibit platelet aggregation, resulting in an increased potential for bleeding. Severity Bladder outflow obstruction Stress incontinence Arrhythmias Insomnia Parkinson's Disease Anticholinergics and antihistamines, gastrointestinal May decrease urinary flow, antispasmodics, muscle relaxants, oxybutynin leading to urinary retention. (Ditropan), flavoxate (Urispas), antidepressants, decongestants, and tolterodine (Detrol) alpha-blockers (Doxazosin, Prazosin, and Terazosin), tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, doxepin and, and long-acting benzodiazepines Tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, doxepin and Decongestants, theophylline (Theodur), methylphenidate (Ritalin), MAOIs, and amphetamines Metoclopramide (Reglan), conventional antipsychotics and tacrine (Cognex) May produce polyuria and worsening of incontinence. Concern due to proarrhythmic effects and ability to produce QT interval changes. Concern due to CNS stimulant effects. Concern due to their antidopaminergic/ anticholinergic effects.
