Tune in as Jennifer Mondillo, a gerontology nurse practitioner, and Rob Leffler, a board-certified geriatric pharmacist, explain the inappropriate use of anticholinergic medications to treat older adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD), a drug-induced movement disorder. These experts emphasize the importance of reducing or eliminating the anticholinergic burden in patients with TD and discuss practical approaches to evaluating anticholinergic use in LTC residents with drug-induced movement disorders, de-prescribing, and treating TD appropriately with VMAT2 inhibitors.
