Abstract: Ageing populations with multiple chronic conditions challenge low-, middle-,
and high-income countries. Older adults frequently depend on complex medication regimens
and polypharmacy, both of which can lead to potentially devastating and debilitating
medication-related problems and to subsequent far-reaching public health, social, and economic
effects. This perspectives article provides an overview of the current state of medication
management, reflects on its relevance among polymedicated home-dwelling older adults
living with multiple chronic conditions, and proposes patient-centered approaches for optimizing
medication management and preventing medication-related problems.
