Polypharmacy: What is it and what do we do about it? Webinar

The term “polypharmacy” is most often used to refer to the use of multiple medications in one individual, but there is no clear consensus about what number of medications is required to qualify. While the use of multiple medications in one patient is something that should always be scrutinized, there are situations where patient conditions and comorbidities may require polypharmacy. In this scenario, the clinician must proactively manage the patient’s medication list to prevent or minimize adverse reactions and interactions.

By watching this webinar, viewers will be able to apply what they’ve learned regarding best practices for medication management in long term living.
