Based on the 2023 Updated AGS Beers Criteria® for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults, The AGS Beers Criteria® mobile app helps clinicians implement prescribing recommendations based on a compendium of medications potentially to avoid or consider with caution because they often present an unfavorable balance of benefits and harms for older adults.
• Browse medications by category: 1) Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIMs) for Older Adults; 2) PIMs for Older Adults with a Specific Disease or Syndrome; 3) Drugs to Use with Caution in Older Adults; 4) Drug – Drug Interactions; 5) PIMs Due to Reduced Kidney Function; 6) Drugs with Strong Anticholinergic Properties; 7) Criteria Removed.
The AGS Beers Criteria® aim to guide older people and health professionals away from potentially harmful medications while also helping health systems recognize such decisions when assessing care quality.
• View and share patient resources on medications and older adults designed specifically for older adults and caregivers.
The AGS Beers Criteria® should never solely dictate how medications are prescribed, nor should they serve as a justification for restricting health coverage.
