In partnership with Primary Health Tasmania, CPS have developed several deprescribing guides focused on medications frequently prescribed to older adults. These guides, intended for use by health professionals, outline the benefits and risks of commonly used medications and highlight scenarios where continued use may no longer be appropriate. Deprescribing strategies are suggested for these situations, and any issues surrounding withdrawal are discussed.
All guides have been reviewed by either a geriatrician or a medical specialist in the relevant discipline.
Further resources can be found at the Primary Health Tasmania website.
