Rethinking the Use of Anticholinergics in Older Adults Diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia
Tune in as Jennifer Mondillo, a gerontology nurse practitioner, and Rob Leffler, a board-certified geriatric pharmacist, explain the inappropriate use of anticholinergic medications to treat older adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD), a drug-induced movement disorder.
