          Abstract

          Polypharmacy is associated with an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and drug interactions, decreased adherence to medication and increased medical cost. Recently, polypharmacy has become a major problem in medical care in Japan as a result of the increase in the ageing population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current situation of polypharmacy and the association between polypharmacy and adverse events.
