AB  - Content  UpdateApril  18,  20192019  Beers  Criteria  Update:  The  American  Geriatrics  Society  (AGS)  produces  and  regularly  updates  the  Beers  Criteria,  a  list  of  medications  that  are  potentially  inappropriate  for  use  in  adults  aged  65  years  and  older.  A  13-member  interprofessional  panel  systematically  assessed  the  evidence  since  the  last  update  in  2015  and  published  the  latest  update  in  January  2019.  The  new  AGS  Beers  Criteria®  includes  30  medications/medication  classes  that  are  potentially  inappropriate  in  older  adults.  The  criteria  also  contains  40  medications/medication  classes  that  should  be  avoided  in  older  people  with  certain  conditions  or  to  be  used  with  caution.  Twenty-five  medications/medication  classes  were  removed  from  the  AGS  Beers  Criteria®  in  the  2019  update.  The  AGS  Beers  Criteria®  is  a  tool  for  safe  medication  management  in  older  adults.
