How do you count polypharmacy? By the number of active ingredients or unique products? We measured it, there’s a difference and it is significant! Full manuscript now available at @IntJClinPharm doi.org/10.1007/s11096-025-0…

People who use combination medicines may or may not be captured as having #polypharmacy depending on whether the active ingredients in each product are considered.

Deprescribing for older people in hospital followed up for 12 months was tested in the AusTAPER study. We showed that a structured, collaborative medication review can reduce meds and save costs with no change to health outcomes. #Deprescribing

We looked at medication regimens of older people living in residential aged care from the day of admission and followed them up for two years. People used more medicines if they had more prescribers. Continuity of care matters
