Abstract

Abstract: It is increasingly common to treat elderly comorbid patients with polypharmacy in community-based general practice.How to formulate effective，safe and customized treatment plan for elderly comorbid patients is crucial for general practitioners in clinical practice.In this paper，the community general practitioner takes the polypharmacy for an elderly cerebral infarction patient with multiple diseases who is transferred from hospital to home-based care.This paper puts forward suggestions of treatment adjustment for the elderly patient by applying the medication use based on Beers criteria，so as to reduce the adverse drug reactions，and provide reference for community general practitioners to formulate multi-drug treatment programs for senile comorbidities.

Key words: Comorbidity, Aged, Polypharmacy, General practitioners, Beers criteria
