Seniors and Gabitril
Although the pharmacokinetics of Gabitril are similar in healthy elderly volunteers and healthy young volunteers, lower initial doses and caution in titration are advised to minimize the likelihood of side effects. Some common side effects of Gabitril, such as dizziness, tremor, depression, or cognitive slowing, may exacerbate pre-existing problems of seniors, and their greater risk of injury from falls or other accidents makes this an area of concern.
