Abstract : 

78-year-old patient, polymedicated and enrolled in the medication compliance aids service. When she went to pick up her medication, she informed us that for a few months she has been suffering from fatigue, weakness, dizziness and confusion. A medication review is performed, focused on the dosage of renal metabolism or elimination medications, based on the patient’s estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). A referral was made to the Primary Care Physician (PCP) through a report, in which the dose reduction of losartan and manidipine was recommended according to the patient’s eGFR. The PCP reduced the dose of antihypertensives. A follow-up of the case was carried out, which allowed to observe that the patient stopped presenting the symptoms initially described.
