Abstract
The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Report provides guidance on prevention and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a pulmonary syndrome largely impacting older adults. Management of COPD in this patient population is often further complicated because of medication and disease state interactions. Pharmacists are in a unique position to impact patients with COPD through counseling on proper medication selection, disease state education, adherence, and proper inhaler technique.
