Geriatric patients generally metabolize drugs at a slower rate. In addition, they often have underlying complicating medical conditions, or take other medications that may have an effect on drug metabolism or clearance. For example, propranolol (InderalTM), a beta-adrenergic blocker, can reduce both hepatic blood flow and renal clearance.
