POLYPHARMACY MAY INCREASE DEPRESSION RISK<br />

“Polypharmacy” (using more than one drug at a time) is a growing trend<br />

that can involve the use of widely prescribed drugs that can lead to<br />

depression. According to a recent study, more than 33 percent of U.S.<br />

adults may be using prescription medications that have the potential to<br />

cause depression. Because many of these drugs have no link to mood<br />

and depression and few have warning labels, patients and healthcare<br />

providers may be unaware of the risk. The drugs found to be most often<br />

associated with depression included the beta-blockers metoprolol<br />

(Lopressor, Toprol) and atenolol (Tenormin) used to treat hypertension<br />

and cardiovascular disease; the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole<br />

(Prilosec); the painkiller hydrocodone (Vicodin); and the anticonvulsant<br />

drug gabapentin (Neurontin).<br />

Health care providers should discuss with their patients the potential<br />

risk for depression associated with certain prescriptions, and recommend<br />

screening individuals for depression in treatment follow-up. For more<br />

information, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at 781-334-3133. We<br />

feature ComputerRX for online refills and Parata Pas packaging system<br />

which allows us to customize the dispensing of your medications. Our<br />

pharmacy is located in the Colonial Shopping Center and open Mon.-Fri.,<br />

9-8; Sat. 9-5; and Sun. and holidays, 9-1:30.<br />

HINT: By filling all their prescriptions at one pharmacy, patients can greatly<br />

increase the chances that any risks linked to polypharmacy are spotted.<br />
