A case study…
Following guidelines:‐ advised 9 self‐care/lifestyle alterations
with others recommended under circumstances
‐ expected to attend 4 ‐ 6 routine GP appointmentsand 8 – 30 psychosocial intervention appointments for depression, smoking cessation, pulmonary rehabilitation
‐ prescribed 11 medications as a minimum‐ 10 other drugs routinely recommended
depending on intermediate outcome control, symptoms and progression of disease

What can we do…?
‐ medication review

What can we do…?
‐ medication review‐ from EBM guidelines to “personal management”‐ prioritization
clinical judgementengagement with patient preferences
20
Conclusions
‐ Potentially serious drug‐drug interactions are common‐ Drug‐disease interactions are less common
exception: chronic kidney disease‐ Future guidelines need‐ epidemiological knowledge of index disease + most
common comorbidities (attention CKD)‐ systematic approach regarding potential interactions
