Polypharmacy As An Actual Problem Of Pharmacotherapy

Annotatsiya

As people age, the risk for developing chronic health conditions becomes more common. A consequence of managing multiple chronic health conditions is the daily use of several different medications. Although no concrete definition of the term exists, polypharmacy has come to mean the use of several (usually five or more) medications on a daily basis, with the possibility that these may not all be clinically necessary. The consequences of polypharmacy can be dangerous and can include adverse drug reactions and unintentional overdose.
