Health Report · Mixing multiple medicines, workplace mental health, and a check-up for Aussie tweens · 15 Jul 2019 podcast

The lead author of the paper is Dr Amy Page, an adjunct senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia. voice-verified

Amy, welcome to The Health Report. voice-verified

So, Amy, we should say up front polypharmacy isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? voice-verified

And what are some of those side effects specifically? voice-verified

Yeah, sure. voice-verified

And so what's an example of the sort of patient who might experience polypharmacy? voice-verified

Who are they? voice-verified

What do they look like? voice-verified

And just before you get to the research, and I know this wasn't a particular focus of the study today, but in some cases polypharmacy is caused by something called a prescribing cascade. voice-verified

What is that? voice-verified

And then the new drugs might interact and there might be new effects and on it goes. voice-verified

And so what did you do in this particular study? voice-verified

And what did you find? voice-verified

So that's complementary medicines in some cases. voice-verified

And yeah, as you say, vitamins and minerals. voice-verified

How did we compare to other countries? voice-verified

That is surprising. voice-verified

So we had a higher base to start with? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And so then having this picture of polypharmacy in Australia, how will that help us to reduce inappropriate polypharmacy? voice-verified
