Making health matter

[Advanced Pharmacy Australia @AdPhaAU]

#MedsAware 2024 is all about driving conversations 🗣️
This year's theme seeks to empower older Australians, Australians living with a disability, and their carers, to ask health professionals: 'Could any of these medicines be doing more harm than good?'

Ask because you care. 💊

There are too many medications being taken for too long unnecessarily. Opioids are considered high risk medications and I personally find difficult to deprescribe. What other medications do people find difficult to deprescribe?
