What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a repeatable workflow for reviewing complex polypharmacy patients — those on 8+ medications — using Claude Pro's extended context window to catch drug interactions, Beers Criteria concerns, therapeutic duplications, and monitoring gaps in 5–10 minutes per patient instead of 30–45 minutes of manual reference checking.

- Claude Pro subscription — {{tool:Claude.price}}/month ({{tool:Claude.plan}}) at {{tool:Claude.url}}
- Time needed: 30 minutes to read this guide and run your first review
- Cost: {{tool:Claude.price}}/month
- A complex patient's current medication list (8+ medications with doses and frequencies)
How-To Guide: Complex Polypharmacy Review with Claude Pro
Step 1: Create a free Claude account and upgrade to Pro
- Go to {{tool:Claude.url}} in your browser
- Click Sign up and create an account with your email
- Once logged in, click your profile name in the upper right and select Upgrade to Pro
- Enter your payment information and complete the upgrade
What you should see: Your account now shows "Pro" badge. The context window (how much text Claude can process at once) is dramatically larger than the free version — critical for long medication lists and patient histories. Troubleshooting: If you can't access billing, check whether your employer's IT policy allows software subscriptions on work accounts. You can also use a personal account and personal credit card.
