With an aging population and an increase in prescribed medications, polypharmacy has become a prominent topic within the pharmacy field. Pharmacists play a vital role as the most accessible healthcare professionals for patients managing multiple medications from various prescribers.
This presentation will cover the leading drugs that often lead patients to the emergency department, including insulin, warfarin, other anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and acetaminophen.
Join Professor Pete Kreckel as he draws on over 45 years of clinical experience to discuss the pharmacist’s role in deprescribing and managing complex medication regimens.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
