| Abstract
|
:
|
This book is designed for all those with a scientific interest in drug treatment and the older population. The authors have all been chosen for their expertise in the field and have been drawn from both sides of the Atlantic and South Africa. The contents fall into two parts - general principles of drug use as they apply to the elderly, and specific chapters dealing with common clinical areas. The editors aim to provide a concise up to date, evidence-based, resource book.
