| Abstract: | Psychotropic drugs (hypno-sedatives, antidepressants and antipsychotics) are commonly used in the older population. On the long term, psychotropic drug use in older persons is associated with several negative functional outcomes such as an increased risk of falls. Gradual withdrawal of psychotropic drugs in older persons is feasible and leads to a significant reduction of falls. Both withdrawal of psychotropic drugs as well as the initiation of appropriate treatment with psychotropic drugs requires knowledge, consultation and cooperation between disciplines and a mentality change among healthcare professionals. In order to inform and support healthcare professionals, the Centre of Expertise for Fall and Fracture Prevention Flanders developed three clinical practice algorithms for the appropriate use of psychotropic drugs in older persons with high risk of falls and a fact sheet with background information. |
