Actually, there is no fixed "five-drug" threshold; polypharmacy risk starts much earlier. In my practice here, common risky medicines after 65 are strong painkillers like diclofenac and overused anxiety pills. A medicine review in India often means a busy doctor glancing at a list—a proper review needs time we seldom have. My own father was on seven medicines until I, fresh from a workshop, sat and asked *"Apu, ei sob dawa kin khai ase?"*—and we cut three.
