SUMMARY: Wellness Wednesday explores the risks of taking too many medications, a condition called polypharmacy, where five or more medicines, including prescriptions, supplements, or over-the-counter drugs, are taken. Dr. Quinn from Mississippi warns that improper monitoring can cause dangerous interactions and side effects, such as liver or kidney failure. Families can prevent this by attending doctor visits with seniors, bringing all medications to appointments, and ensuring one doctor manages the treatment. Using one pharmacy helps pharmacists identify harmful drug conflicts. Communication among doctors, patients, and families is key to safe medication use and avoiding serious health risks.
