Multiple medication use (polypharmacy) is common amongst older adults even though they are less likely to obtain the same benefit from medicines as younger adults and the associated harms of inappropriate polypharmacy are well known. Reducing inappropriate polypharmacy by not starting medicines, tapering or stopping – “deprescribing” – can be safe and beneficial. Deprescribing can be challenging and requires considered communication and a collaborative approach between the clinician and patient. It is important to involve older adults in these discussions but the extent to which a person wants to be involved is likely to be highly individual. Furthermore, there is not much evidence or guidance on how to support older patients in this process.
We explored decision making about polypharmacy with healthy and frail older adults, through discussions about their experiences and attitudes towards making decisions about medicines and their thoughts on deprescribing.
