Is there an issue with warfarin in the elderly?
Warfarin is highly bound to albumin and in the elderly, there is decreased binding, which results in a greater % of free, pharmacologically active drug
What's the issue with propanolol in the elderly?
Due to a decrease in first pass metabolism, giving this drug in normal doses in the elderly can result in increased plasma concentrations of the drug.

Also, propanolol is fat-soluble, and the elderly have higher amounts of fat.
