Geriatric patient hypertension

Relative avoid use during pregnancy, breast-feeding or if pregnancy is planned. Use with caution in geriatric patients or in patients with advanced heart block, significant hypertension, severe ventricular dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, hypovolemia, hepatic or renal insufficiency. [Pg.336]

Geriatric Considerations - Summary Discontinuation of clonidine is likely to require a slow taper. If the patient is receiving a concomitant beta-blocker, the beta-blocker must be tapered and discontinued before discontinuing clonidine. Clonidine discontinuation in the presence of a beta-blocker can lead to severe hypertension and cardiovascular events due to unopposed alpha-receptor stimulation. CNS effects often preclude its use in older adults. A higher clonidine dose (0.4 mg/day) is generally needed to control peri- or postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms however, adverse effects often make it difficult to achieve effective doses. [Pg.290]

Geriatric Considerations - Summary Alpha-adrenergic blockers are modestly effective alone, and in combination with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (e g, finasteride) in the treatment of urinary obstructive symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia, The main side effect of these agents is orthostatic hypotension, and in hypertensive patients, these agents may increase the risk of congestive heart failure as reported in the ALLHAT study. [Pg.398]

It is an anionic detergent which softens the stool by water accumulation in intestinal lumen and emulsifies the colon contents. It is indicated in obstetric, habitual, geriatric, paediatric constipation or when straining is to be avoided (recent myocardial infarction, severe hypertension, post-operative cases, abdominal hernia), fissures, haemorrhoids and bed ridden patients. Dose 100-200 mg/day. [Pg.254]

Indapamide did not significantly affect the function of patients with renal impairment and did not accumulate in the blood. In addition, the calculated half-life for indapamide in hypertensive hemodialysis patients is found to be very similar to the half-life observed in hypertensive patients with normal and compromised renal function (30). No adverse effect of indapamide on renal function is evident in normal volunteers, hypertensive patients or geriatric hypertensive patients after monitoring glomerular filtration rate or effective renal plasma flow (24). [Pg.263]

Meaningful numbers, especially in phase III a minimum of 100 patients was suggested for a non-geriatric-specific disease (e.g. hypertension). [Pg.196]
