This review examines altered drug responses during aging. The incidence of diseases and disorders that require drug treatment rapidly increases with advancing age; elderly patients tend to receive more medications more often and are therefore at a correspondingly higher risk of experiencing adverse drug reactions and interactions. The cognitive decline

An overview is presented of pathophysiology, classification and measurement of spasticity and of its treatment, especially with dantrolene and baclofen. In spasticity, the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system is impaired by mechanisms that are for the greater part unknown. Spasticity includes various
