This new quarterly refereed journal in the geriatric area is devoted to drug therapy and related issues in the geriatric patient. It is edited by a pharmacy professor, and has an editorial board of health care practitioners, educators, and researchers involved in the care of the geriatric patient. The inaugural issue involves drug-related problems in the elderly patient, including research articles, a review article, two commentary articles, and a case report. Except for the case report, which is highly technical, the information presented would be of interest to gerontologists with or without a health care practice background. If the calibre of this first issue is maintained then this journal will provide valuable and reliable information about geriatric drug therapy.
