Pharmaceutical Adverse Reactions Are Skyrocketing

Research published July 4, 2022, online revealed some shocking statistics about the dramatic rise in adverse drug reactions in the U.K.1 Many of these adverse reactions were related to the number of prescriptions prescribed to the individuals.
Another name for overprescribing medications is “polypharmacy.” The issue has been snowballing in the last decade as Big Pharma continues to develop new drugs. The stated intent is the hope of lengthening life through chemistry, but the goal is growing revenue.
If the goal were better health, the initial recommendation would be lifestyle changes that support health, and the secondary or tertiary step would be prescribing medications. But that isn’t what always happens. Instead, the first step is often skipped and providers simply prescribe drugs for a condition, sometimes with multiple prescriptions.
When a patient ends up taking more than one prescription, it’s called polypharmacy, a term that is often used, but the definitions vary.2 According to one article the term polypharmacy “was used over one and a half centuries ago to refer to issues related to multiple-drug consumption and excessive use of drugs.”3
No matter when the term originated, it is commonly accepted that polypharmacy is the prescription of too many medications. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Polypharmacy, often defined as the simultaneous use of five or more prescription drugs, is more common in an aging population where multiple coexisting chronic conditions often occur.”
