Polypharmacy, defined as the use of multiple drugs or more than are medically necessary, is a growing concern for older adults. We present information about; 1.) Prevalence of polypharmacy and unnecessary medication use. ; 2.) Negative Consequences of Polypharmacy; 3.) Interventions to improve polypharmacy. International research shows that polypharmacy is common in older adults with the highest number of drugs taken by those residing in nursing homes. Nearly 50% of older adults take one or more medications that are not medically necessary. Research has clearly established a strong relationship between polypharmacy and negative clinical consequences. Moreover, well designed inter-professional (often incuding clinical pharmacist) intervention studies that focus on enrolling high risk older patients with polypharmacy have shown that they can be effective in improving the overall quality of prescribing with mixed results on distal health outcomes.
