Osteoporosis is very common in elderly patients. Despite the severe health-related consequences for individual patients and the socioeconomic costs caused by osteoporotic fractures, treatment rates are still low. Due to drug interactions and patient compliance, polypharmacy is often mentioned as a reason for undertreatment.

Journal of Infusion Nursing, 2003
Polypharmacy is the concurrent use of several different medications used by the same individual, which in some cases can lead to drug-drug interactions. Elderly patients often are faced with polypharmacy when they have multiple disease processes. Declining organ function, as part of the normal aging process, adds to the problem of adverse drug effects ...

There are plausible mechanisms for how polypharmacy and frailty may be related. Known harms of polypharmacy, including adverse drug reactions, which may result in falls, reduced function and cognition, and ...
