RE: Medication Interactions, A Potential Woops!

Exactly, that's a big problem! I'm certain I've made these types of errors at some point as well without realizing it. The consequences truly do add up and result in an overall sicker population.

A primary care physician, ideally, should try to reduce the number of medications and medication interactions that a patient has. Polypharmacy (taking too many medications simultaneously) is a well-known issue, particularly among the elderly. It can cause multiorgan damage over time, as well as have bad effects on the mind.
