      abstract = {This book summarizes the broad and rapidly evolving field  of geriatric pharmacotherapy, which is becoming  increasingly relevant for practicing physicians who care  and prescribe medications for older patients. Around the  globe, ageing populations are associated with an increased  prevalence of chronic diseases. Older adults are often  affected by multimorbidity, i.e., suffer from more than one  chronic disease. The main consequence of multimorbidity is  polypharmacy, which is commonly defined as the regular use  of five or more medicines. Polypharmacy has now reached  epidemic proportions in our societies, and is associated  with an increased risk of drug-drug interactions,  drug-disease interactions and adverse drug reactions. The  management of polypharmacy in older patients with complex  multimorbidity poses several challenges and needs to be  based on specific knowledge and prescribing expertise. The  aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive update on  the field, and to share the expertise needed to optimize  the management of pharmacotherapy in older patients.},
