“…Issues, such as polypharmacy (≥4 drugs) and drug side effects are important factors that may increase the risk for falls (20,25,(27)(28)(29)31) . Conceptual definition: the patient describes his or her knowledge about the prescribed drugs related to the increased risk for falls, such as: antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, diuretics, benzodiazepines, sedatives, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioid analgesics, muscle relaxants, antihistamines, insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents; due to the presence of side effects, such as hypotension, bradycardia, somnolence, dizziness, reflex changes, visual changes, hypoglycemia, urinary urgency, intestinal urgency.…”

“…Cabe anotar que la muestra se limita al uso de clozapina y quetiapina, solamente dos fármacos de los distintos antipsicóticos atípicos existentes actualmente. Relativamente a algunos fármacos estudiados como, por ejemplo, la clozapina y la trazodona, se comprobó, en otros estudios, que están relacionados con caídas recurrentes, presentando OR de 7,67 (95% IC=1,81-8,74) y 5,25 (95% IC=1,15-4,90), respectivamente [7].…”

“…Los ancianos, portugueses y de otros países desarrollados, toman una media de 6 medicamentos para distintas enfermedades crónicas, entre ellos los psicofármacos (antidepresivos, antipsicóticos, ansiolíticos, antihistamínicos de primera generación y analgésicos opiáceos) [6,7]. Numerosos estudios y revisiones de artículos confirman que estos fárma-cos, particularmente benzodiazepinas de acción larga como diazepam, antidepresivos como trazodona, antipsicóticos típicos como haloperidol y atípicos como clozapina y quetiapina, y analgésicos opioides como tramadol, están asociados a un aumento del riesgo de caídas en pacientes ancianos, tanto aquellos que viven en residencias como los hospitalizados o los que viven en la comunidad [7,8].…”

“…Results of that case-control study showed strong positive associations at 0 days for all classes of medication (β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium antagonists, thiazides). Surprisingly, only thiazides showed significant ORs of falling during elapsed times of [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] 16 A study showed that the current prescribing of angiotensin system-blocking medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensinreceptor blockers, had a protective effect against fall risk in older people. 29 This prospective cohort study in 520 community-dwelling older people indicated that people taking angiotensin system-blocking medications were less likely to fall (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.48-0.97; P,0.05) after adjusting for potential confounders.…”
