“…For example, a Dutch study of 84 patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN – a well-known complication of shingles) reported that 89% of patients took prescription medications such as antidepressants, opioids, various analgesics as well as antiepileptic medicines ( 32 ). The elderly are highly susceptible to side-effects from medications, partly because they generally take more than one medication, and there is often no dose adjustment ( 33 ). Polypharmacy is known to be associated with negative health outcomes and a major cause of drug interactions and safety problems in this age group ( 34 ).…”

“…Dies lässt sich auch daraus ablesen, dass sich das NebenwirkungRisiko ab fünf Medikamenten verdoppelt und ab sieben bis acht Medikamenten verdreifacht. Häufig haben ältere Patienten mit Polymedikation auch eine eingeschränkte renale oder hepatische Funktion und so eine veränderte Pharmakokinetik und Pharmakodynamik der eingesetzten Medikamente, was die Gefahr möglicher Interaktionen weiter erhöht [27]. Die häufigsten medikamentös-erworbenen Gerinnungsstörungen sind zweifellos Thrombozytenfunktionsstörungen [28].…”

“… 1 Its risks are widely known and are specially related to pharmacological interactions. 2 One of these potential risks is the appearance of malignant ventricular arrhythmias when drugs that prolong QT interval are prescribed, including antibiotics, antidepressants, antiemetics, psychotropic medication or even antiarrhythmic drugs. 3 - 6 The development of ventricular arrhythmias such as Torsades de Pointes (TdP), typically related to QT prolongation, is a potentially lethal complication.…”
