A Remarkable Example for the Role of a Sports Pharmacist

Clinical Pharmacist Abdelmonaim Elsayed's (Saudi Arabia) presentation on pharmaceutical interventions at the 2nd International Conference on Safe Falling for Older People through Judo Ukemi focused on the role of medications management in the safe falling program for elderly . He discussed how certain pharmaceuticals can increase  the risk of falls among the elderly. His talk emphasized the importance of careful medication management and the integration of pharmaceutical care with physical interventions like judo ukemi.

He highlighted several key points:
- *Medication Review*: Regular review of an elderly patient's medications to identify and mitigate fall risks.
- *Multifaceted Interventions*: Combining pharmaceutical care with physical training to enhance overall safety.
- *Patient Education*: Educating patients and caregivers about the potential side effects of medications that could lead to falls.

His insights were particularly valuable for healthcare professionals looking to implement comprehensive safe falling program strategies that include both pharmaceutical and physical components.
