Subscribe to the podcast here: http://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast The term 'polypharmacy' is usually defined as the use of five or more drugs, which can include both prescribed and over-the-counter medicines but what is often overlooked is the concomitant use of complementary medicines. Here in Australia, it's becoming more commonplace for pharmacists to intervene in patients with polypharmacy by conducting a medication review and working with their GP to determine if their medications are necessary. What's increasingly evident that pharmacists are a trusted and readily accessible source of health information by the public and what comes with that is an expectation that they have a knowledge of complementary medicines too. Today we're joined by Jacqui Hagidimitriou who shares her journey to becoming an integrative pharmacist with a passion for natural medicines and how using this knowledge alongside her pharmacy knowledge, she is able to better support patients burdened by polypharmacy.
