Adverse health events related to self-medication practices among elderly: a systematic review.
This narrative review examined the incidence of adverse symptoms arising from self-administration of over-the-counter medications and formerly prescribed medications among older adults. The literature suggests that self-administration of medications is common and often leads to adverse drug events. The authors call for prospective studies to better characterize this patient safety issue.
