Tackling the burden of pills in HIV infected subjects with multiple chronic conditions

Dr. Rajiv Bandaru

Abstract :

Polypharmacy is arguably one of the most vexing prescribing issues they confront on a daily basis. Polypharmacy is driven by a combination of factors, including people living longer, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes or HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection and the increasing availability of drugs to treat many of these diseases (1-6).
