Abstract The interaction of medications with the person who has a life-limiting illness is critical to consider. Most people with a life-limiting illness have new medications introduced, while continuing their longer-term medications for their comorbid illnesses. Understanding the potential medication–person and medication–medication interactions is crucial to minimize harms and maximize benefits. In this setting, many people benefit from careful review of their medications to optimize their compliance with those medications that are most beneficial and, at the same time, to minimize harms.
