Polypharmacy: A Key Issue of Contemporary Geriatric Medicine
Original language description
Polypharmacy is common in the elderly, especially in the late age (over 75 years). Usually it is closely related to the geriatric multi-morbidity. The authors highlight the medication used in the anticipated positive and potential negative potential. While physicians often must make difficult trade-offs between the guidelines on one hand and complicated multiple morbidity, on the other hand, while trying to avoid polypharmacy (over 5 drugs), especially excessive polypharmacy (over 10 drugs). Multimorbid elderly patients who are treated in accordance with guidelines typically use large amounts of medicaments. This polypharmacy increases the risk of adverse drug reactions and drug interactions.
