This report provides a summary of the scale and complexity of the issue of polypharmacy. It outlines how health care professionals, patients and carers can find solutions when polypharmacy causes problems for patients and points to useful resources that can help. The guidance recommends that all health care organisations have systems in place to ensure people taking ten or more medicines can be identified and highlighted as requiring a comprehensive medication review with a pharmacist.
