Substitution Patterns After Discontinuation of CNS-Active Medications in Older Adults in Primary Care
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the frequency and nature of medication substitutions following the discontinuation of central nervous system (CNS)-active medications in older adults. They found that 9.5% of drug discontinuations were followed by substitutions, with 26.2% of these substitutions being potentially inappropriate according to the 2023 Beers Criteria. This underscores the need for improved guidance for prescribers to ensure safe deprescribing practices.
