Abstract

During geriatric treatment, the use of medicaments is often important, sometimes harmful, and seldom sufficient by itself. In order for the treatment to be successful, its indication must be well-founded. The dosage has to be adapted, and restraint and therapeutic discipline should always be encouraged. Finally, the anticipated advantages must be greater than the various possible side effects.
