Health care management review · Jul 2026

Background

Polypharmacy and the use of potentially inappropriate medications (potentially inappropriate medications) are major concerns in managing older adults with multiple chronic conditions, as they can increase the risk of adverse drug reactions.

Purpose

To develop and evaluate the feasibility of the Physician-Pharmacist Partnership Intervention to Deprescribe Medications (P3iD) among ambulatory older persons.

Methods

Aged 65 years or older with multiple chronic diseases, prescribed five or more medications with at least one potentially inappropriate medications (according to Beer's Criteria 2019), were recruited.

n = Twenty participants and 14 doctors

Results

70%

most patients had a medication safely stopped after review

n = Twenty participants and 14 doctors

More results

Participants consumed a total of 167 medications, from which 36 (22%) potentially inappropriate medications were identified.

The number of potentially inappropriate medications accepted for deprescribing was 19/36 (52.7%).

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Recruiting older adult participants and conducting the P3iD in a tertiary primary care clinic was feasible.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Incorporating deprescribing into routine practice through periodic medication reviews provides a structured, safer, and more effective approach to managing polypharmacy and improving patient outcomes, subsequently optimizing health management and strengthening health care systems.
