polypharmacy review

A polypharmacy review is a careful evaluation of all the medications a person is taking, typically by a healthcare professional. Its purpose is to ensure each medication is necessary, appropriate, and safe, especially for individuals on multiple drugs. The review helps identify potential drug interactions, reduce unnecessary medications, and optimize treatment outcomes. This process aims to improve health, reduce side effects, and streamline medication management, particularly in older adults or those with complex health conditions, ensuring they receive the most effective and safest care possible.
