Analysis of drug – drug interaction’s prevalence in the study population revealed that 57% of the prescriptions do not have any such interactions. The core analysis of this work is assessment of CV risks in the geriatric study population with chronic kidney disease using three various scale that had revealed that 40% of the study population was in very high risk category and 20 & 32% were in high and moderate risk category respectively.
