Question:
Answer:
Dosing in elderly patients should be initiated at extremely high doses and dose adjustments should be done very slowly.
Correct Answer?
Explanation:
Dosing in elderly patients should be initiated at very low doses and dose adjustments should be done slowly (the start low, go slow approach) with careful monitoring, particularly by caregivers and the other medical support team members.
Cannabinoids for children should only be considered in severe conditions that have proven to be refractory to all other approaches.
When treating children with cannabinoid medicines, doses should be kept as low as possible, and careful monitoring must be in place.
