AMH Aged Care Companion



The AMH Aged Care Companion extends the principles of the Australian Medicines Handbook to support safe prescribing in older people. It focuses on key challenges such as polypharmacy, frailty, multimorbidity and age-related pharmacokinetic changes. The resource provides practical guidance on dose adjustment, deprescribing, adverse effects and drug selection, alongside recommendations for common geriatric syndromes. 

Designed for clinicians working in residential and community aged care settings, it supports risk–benefit assessment and monitoring to reduce medication-related harm in this high-risk population.
