A working pharmacotherapy knowledge base is essential to dosing and optimizing patient care. This chapter is intended to highlight practical dosing considerations and common problems associated with the pharmacologic management of patients with neurologic disorders. Pain management, cardiac medications including blood pressure management, antiplatelets, and anticoagulants are covered in this chapter. In addition, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antiepileptic drugs, and agents for the treatment of inflammatory and demyelinating diseases are covered in more detail. A complete discussion of the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of all medications highlighted is beyond the scope of this chapter. Thus, this will not replace available tertiary references or the most valuable medication reference, the clinical pharmacist. The addition of a clinical pharmacist can provide you with further dosing and medication management considerations.
