Season 1 PRN 6: Deprescribing, getting you OFF your medication
Less medications are better
Your pharmacist actually wants you to take less medications if possible!
In addition to answering any questions about your medications during a MedsCheck, the pharmacist can actually recommend that you take FEWER medications. One of the things a pharmacist can help you with is making sure that you’re taking the right medications for the right reasons, and potentially work with the doctor to stop/taper/decrease the dose for some of your medications. This is known as ‘deprescribing’ your medications. Find out which medications are common targets for deprescribing, and why it can be healthier for you.
