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 />
