Beskrivelse
Older people from countries across the world commonly end up taking a lot of medications. In Canada, 2 out of 3 adults over the age of 65 take 5 or more medications. More often than not, at least one of these medications are not necessary, or have side effects which outweigh the potential benefits.“Deprescribing” is the process of safely reducing or stopping medications when they are no longer a good fit for patients.Healthcare providers and patients need practical and sustainable strategies to make decisions about when, and how, to stop or reduce medications. Research on deprescribing is important to develop and test these strategies, and ultimately change practice.
Convening deprescribing researchers and clinicians to exchange ideas and build collaborations is one way to build knowledge and push the field forward towards practice change and quality medication use in older adults.
