<unk>  or polytherapy is therapy that uses more than one medication or modality. Typically, the term refers to using multiple therapies to treat a single disease, and often all the therapies are pharmaceutical (although it can also involve non-medical therapy, such as the<unk>  of medications and talk therapy to treat depression). 'Pharmaceutical'<unk>  may be achieved by prescribing/administering separate drugs, or, where available, dosage forms that contain more than one<unk> ive ingredient (such as fixed-dose<unk> s). Polypharmacy is a related term, referring to the use of multiple medications (without regard to whether they are for the same or separate conditions/diseases). Sometimes "polymedicine" is used to refer to pharmaceutical<unk> . Most of these kinds of terms lack a universally consistent definition, so caution and clarification are often advisable.
