Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I know most of you have younger children and probably haven’t and won’t be thinking about this for some time but I wondered if anyone came across anything on this. That is as the individual with Down syndrome ages do they need a lower dose of medication just as you hear that the seniors need lower doses? Dr. Chicoine the Director of the Adult Down Syndrome Center near us wrote in ’s evaluation a few years ago, “As adults with Down syndrome get on into their 30’s and 40’s, it does appear that their aging process accelerates. As patients get into their 40’s and beyond, we generally think of them as being 10-20 years older physically than their chronological age.” Any thoughts on this?
