De-prescribing refers to a structured, supervised process of stopping medications that are no longer necessary or beneficial. Ask your doctor the following questions:
-
What is this medication for? Do I still need it?
-
What would happen if I stopped it? Is there a safe way to stop?
Why you should know this
A supervised process of stopping medications that are no longer needed is something everyone should know about
If you have a doctor that prescribes medicin without you needing it, get a new doctor instead.
This sounds more like someone taking meds for blood pressure and thinking they’re no longer needed because their blood pressure is fine now
