The Perils of Overprescribed Medications Summary!

Overprescribing refers to doctors prescribing more medications than necessary or at higher doses than needed, which is especially problematic for older adults. Many elderly people take multiple medications, leading to dangerous drug interactions and a condition known as polypharmacy. This can cause severe side effects like dizziness, confusion, anxiety, and even death. Overprescribing also contributes to public health issues, including the opioid epidemic. Commonly overprescribed medications include antibiotics(often for conditions that don't need them), benzodiazepines (which are frequently prescribed for anxiety), opioids (which are addictive for chronic pain, and stimulants (often overprescribed for ADHD). Over prescribing these drugs can lead to addiction, overdose and legal consequences for doctors if their actions result in harm to patients.
