• It is estimated that 320,000 medication related hospital admissions occur annually¹.
• Approx 30% of hospital admissions in patients 75 years and older, in Australia, are related to adverse drug events (ADEs)^2,3  with approx  50% considered potentially preventable.
• ADEs increase proportionally to the number of medications being used⁴

Your practice pharmacist can provide medication related advice to help you and your patients determine the most appropriate therapy, tailored to the individual, to optimise outcomes and minimse the risk of adverse effects.
