Are you cheating on your pharmacy? Polypharmacy is a big word that means "shopping around" for pharmaceuticals. The late night run to other sources of medication, over-the-counter, or otherwise. It's dangerous because the "other" pharmacy usually is unaware that any cheating is going on. This can lead to excessive use of the same drug (equivalent drug), drug interactions, and an overall unfavorable health outcomes. So, stop cheating! Or at least introduce them to one another ;-)
