Abstract

IMPACT OF POLYPHARMACY ON MEDICATION ADHERENCE IN PATIENT WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Anusri Unni T.*, Lisa Mary Koshy and Vinod Thomas

ABSTRACT

Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are known to be at risk of drug therapy problems since they often receive multiple medications due to co-morbidities associated with the condition. Poly pharmacy is the use of four or more medications by a patient generally adults aged over 65 years, mostly affecting about 40% of older adults living in their own homes. Improper management of medicine is a currently occurring health issue especially among elders mainly due to the poly pharmacy. This review article, assessed the prevalence of drug therapy problems and related factors in a population of diabetic patients in a tertiary hospital. Poly pharmacy continues to be a significant issue and little research has been conducted regarding the relationship between medication adherence and poly pharmacy. Medication adherence is affected by certain factors other than the number of drugs prescribed.

Keywords: Polypharmacy, Medication adherence, Type 2DM, Questionnaires.
