Polypharmacy — When More Medications Mean Worse Outcomes

The average Indian OPD prescription carries 5.6 drugs. Polypharmacy is independently linked to falls, frailty, functional decline, and adverse drug interactions. Deprescribing — safely reducing unnecessary medications — is an evidence-based approach that almost never happens.

A Real Story

“On 8 pills from 3 different doctors. After a unified review, 3 were safely deprescribed, 2 were adjusted. Felt better on fewer medications.”

— Ramesh, 58, Retired Teacher
