A medication cascade occurs when a person is prescribed medication to counteract the side effects of another medication. This can create a cycle of multiple medications being prescribed to address the side effects of the original medication. It is important for healthcare providers to continually reassess the necessity of the medications being taken to prevent medication cascades.
