Geriatric Medicine

Polypharmacy / medication review

A review of all medications an older patient takes, to catch interactions, duplications or drugs no longer needed.

Who this is for

  • Taking five or more medications
  • Prescriptions from multiple doctors
  • New or worsening side effects
  • Confusion about medication schedule

What it involves

A complete medication list review, checking for interactions and appropriateness given current health status.

What to expect

It's common for a review to result in stopping or adjusting at least one medication — often with noticeable benefit.
