Medications associated with dizziness or hypotension and adverse outcomes: an electronic health record study in older adults with dementia
Medications that potentially cause dizziness or hypotension were associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation, although not specifically hospitalisation caused by falls. More systematic attention should be paid to coprescribing around the time of dementia diagnosis and the potential for rationalising this to minimise adverse drug events.
