Lucas Mendez+FollowWhen pills collide: the quiet risk of too many meds She has a medicine cabinet that looks responsible: blood pressure pill, an OTC sleep aid, a supplement that “helps energy,” and a prescription from a different clinic. No one reviewed them together. Then she gets dizzy, or her meds blunt each other, or side effects pile up. This is polypharmacy—and it’s common in midlife as chronic issues accumulate. Practical moves: carry a single, updated med list; use one pharmacy so interactions get flagged; ask a pharmacist to review your regimen; and once a year request a medication review and “deprescribing” conversation. Less can sometimes be safer—and more life-giving. #Health #WomensHealth406Share
