Polypharmacy

"Polypharmacy can absolutely be harmful, but it can also be justified. My time as a hospital pharmacist showed me that while medications can cause harms, they can also be essential. Some seniors would be much better off if we discontinued several of their medications. Others would be dead. The absolute numbers of medications, supplements and over-the-counter drugs taken isn’t the problem – but it is a big red flag to proceed cautiously"

More drugs, more supplements, and potentially more problems
