Elderly patients taking quetiapine may be facing dangerous cardiac risk.

So-called “second generation” antipsychotics like quetiapine (Seroquel) continue to be associated with adverse outcomes for older patients. On our blog, we explore the risks of QT prolongation, arrhythmia, and cardiac death that are associated with quetiapine.

Older patients are at greater risk due to other underlying heart problems and potential complications from polypharmacy. Read on to discover how to move patients away from antipsychotics and toward safer, more effective treatment.

Are anticonvulsants an evidence-based answer for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?

For long-term care patients living with dementia, prescription of anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drugs is becoming more commonplace. But, as institutions move away from antipsychotics and toward anticonvulsant medications like depakote, it is important to understand the impact of such prescriptions.

On the GuideStar Eldercare blog, we explore the underlying problems with using anticonvulsants for treating dementia symptoms and chart an alternative course that can lead to better clinical outcomes.

What does the evidence say about anxiolytics in long-term care?

Benzodiazepines are a commonly prescribed group of anxiolytic drugs found in many facilities. However, a growing body of clinical study suggests that these types of medications may not be appropriate for geriatric patients and those living with dementia.

On the GuideStar Eldercare blog, we review the latest information and consider potential ways forward as researchers have begun to call for greater organizational and regulatory oversight regarding anxiolytic drugs in long-term care facilities. https://loom.ly/Cc1Z6Cs
