Is being on a lot of different medications harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YEs it can: As the number of medications you take increases so do the chances that they may interact or have additive side effects. It is best to discuss all medications(even eye drops) with your primary physician or pharmacist. Just because they work on different parts of the body does not mean they cannot cause problems with other drugs.
