Resumo

Elderly people are prone to drug-induced adverse events (AEs), which often manifest as an atypical clinical picture. The differential diagnosis of any new symptom or alteration in the general state of health in the elderly must, therefore, include AEs. This article offers a practical tool designed to help clinicians to rapidly identify which drugs may induce which kind of frequent symptoms or syndromes.
