W R Primrose, A E Capewell, G K Simpson, R G Smith.   

Abstract

Details of medication prescribed to 400 elderly patients in 18 registered nursing homes and 233 patients in 11 long-stay geriatric wards were obtained. Excluding laxatives, there was a mean of 2.15 medications prescribed for the long-stay patients, compared to 2.62 items for the nursing-home population. There was apparent over-prescribing of certain drugs within the nursing-home population.
