Older patients have completely different mechanisms of responding to drugs. Older patients exhibit more drug-to-drug interactions. It is crucial to put older people under medications that do not conflict or have a minimal effective impact upon conflict—older patients who were consuming more than five prescriptions simultaneously experience adverse effects insurmountably. In normal conditions, such events are foreseeable, predictable, and preventable.

Physicians prescriptions

Family physicians need to proceed with caution whenever they prescribe drugs for older people. Specifically, this condition is very difficult to manage and, as such, has proved to be a very deterrent to most medical conditions that have been provided. In studying the specific characteristic behavior of how older adults feel and experience the drug interaction condition, it is worth mentioning the conclusive impact on a person for the first time. Most older patients may suffer from the condition for a very long time until the dosage stops its impact or without showing any symptoms or signs that would otherwise be medically conclusive enough.

Impacts on the alimentary body canal

Older patients are known to experience adverse effects from medical situations. -Some risk factors have always been associated with multiple prescriptions for older people. Combined drug-drug interaction has also been associated with the failure of the vagus nerve that helps in managing digestive tract muscles. The vagus nerve failure has also been associated with the failures of the food movement in the small intestine. The food movement in the ileum relies specifically upon the ability of the gastro muscles in the alimentary canal to act and work efficiently. The vagus nerve has to play its part without failure and left a condition is predetermined. Subsequently, studies have also shown that a damaged vagus nerve can cause this condition. One of the primary damaging factors of the vagus nerve is a diabetic condition. The vagus nerve explains why the diabetic condition is violently related to older people with multiple prescriptions.
