Polypharmacy: putting the framework into practice

摘要

In 'Polypharmacy: a framework for theory and practice' (Pharm J 2019;303[7931]:324-331), a broad framework was suggested to be considered when undertaking polypharmacy reviews (see Box 1). This article will illustrate the application of these principles in a case study which involved undertaking a comprehensive review. Tackling a smaller number of prioritised care issues in prac tice is equally valid. The patient, Linda, consented to her case being used in this article.
