Managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is complex due to multiple health issues and numerous medications. This review highlights social prescribing for smoking cessation and physical activity to reduce polypharmacy and improve COPD patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Pulmonary Medicine
Pharmacology
Public Health

Background:

Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) frequently have multiple health conditions (multimorbidity).
This multimorbidity often leads to the prescription of many medications (polypharmacy), complicating COPD management.
Current guidelines aim to reduce inappropriate medication, but further improvements are needed.

Conclusions:

Integrating social prescribing for smoking cessation and physical activity can help prevent polypharmacy in COPD.
This approach can lead to more sustainable and effective management of COPD.
Further research into social prescribing's role in COPD is warranted.
