A significant increase in the prescription of proton pump inhibitors and heparins was found in COVID-19 patients when comparing hospital admission with discharge.
The increased prescription of heparins at discharge resulted in a highly significant increase in the potentially severe drug–drug interactions mediated by this class of drugs.
More than 50% of COVID-19 patients aged >65 years had at least one potentially inappropriate medication at both admission and discharge.
