In the second episode of our discussion on seniors, today we are focusing on the special considerations the people in this population should take when deciding to incorporate cannabis into their treatment plans.
70% of older adults have 2 or more chronic conditions, and almost 40% of all seniors take 5 or more prescriptions! So polypharmacy is very important here.
Dr. Les Matthews & Dr. Leigh Vincour are back in this episode to go over how to prescribe cannabis for this more complex population, and things you should keep in mind if you wnt to prescribe cannabis as well.
Cannabis Grand Rounds is produced by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals to provide accurate and unbiased education on all things cannabis. The show is hosted by Drs. Matthews, Vinocur and Altman, who are all physicians with Masters Degrees in medical cannabis science and therapeutics from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.
