Prof Chan said the new database is timely as people are taking more drugs at once. An elderly cancer patient, for instance, takes about six different types of medicine. Older people often take more than one drug type due to multiple health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. But doing so can place them at risk of adverse effects. Prof Chan explained that some drugs may stop certain types of medication from working properly. Others can disrupt the way a particular drug acts in the body -- for example slowing the rate at which it is absorbed and leaving it hanging around in the system longer than it should. When this happens, the patient may experience greater side effects than normal, said Prof Chan.
