dc.description.abstract | The provision of rational and appropriate pharmacotherapy to older people with
intellectual disabilities (ID) poses significant challenges due to the complexities of
conditions being treated, the increased risks of adverse drug reactions, and the
challenges associated with communication and atypical disease presentation. People
with intellectual disabilities are often prescribed medicines to treat a variety of chronic
conditions and are likely to be exposed to polypharmacy. Life expectancy for people
with ID is increasing in Ireland and elsewhere. Little research has been carried out to
date assessing patterns of multiple medicine use in an ageing population with ID. | |
