The two classes of drugs that elderly people should avoid taking are sedatives and hypnotics.

Elderly people should avoid taking Sedatives and hypnotics.

This is because sedatives and hypnotics can cause drowsiness, confusion, and an increased risk of falls and accidents in older adults.

Taking these medications can also lead to a higher risk of dependence and adverse effects.
