50% of DOAC Doses are Inappropriate in Older Adults? On The Role of Appropriate Dosing
Anticoagulation Forum shared on LinkedIn:
”Did you know? Up to 50% of DOAC doses are inappropriate in older adults—with underdosing being more common than overdosing.
Underdosing can actually increase the risk of stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular hospitalizations, without reducing bleed risk.
This new resource, Clinical Considerations: Anticoagulation Use in Older Adults, provides practical guidance on:
- Dosing best practices
- Managing fall risk
- Addressing modifiable bleeding risk factors
- Choosing the right anticoagulant through individualized, shared decision-making

This resource was made possible through our collaboration with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), with support from an educational grant by the Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer Alliance.
