Could overmedication associated with spinal injuries be treated with one more CNS drug?
Journal Title: Journal of Neurology and Therapeutics - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Overmedication is a common problem generally associated with the aging population suffering typically of one or several chronic diseases. However, side effects, drug interactions and excessive use of multiple drug treatments have recently been shown to be an important issue also in patients suffering a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) or, more generally, by people with significant mobility problems.
