Pharmacists' Role in Deprescribing in Frail Older Adults

Quick fact

In frail older adults, deprescribing programmes can reduce medication burden and potentially inappropriate medicines, but evidence for consistent reductions in falls, hospital admissions or mortality remains limited. Each change must be individualised and monitored.

Why this is interesting

An older person can accumulate prescriptions from years of treatment until the medicines themselves become a source of burden. Which drugs still help, and how can the rest be reduced safely?
