Quite often the doctor referred to has been retired or even dead for years. It is common experience that patients’ eyes glaze over while they reminisce about “my doctor” who initiated the medicine in question. Withdrawing the drug leaves the patient bereft and without visible means of support. He was not referring to pharmacological drug dependence, but the fact that a repeat drug can be a tangible and comforting symbol for a long term doctor-patient relationship. In the first ever study of repeat prescriptions in 1970, Balint suggested that “repeat prescriptions are written in steel and concrete and are not easily dismantled or remodelled”. People become attached to their medicines, quite often for reasons that have nothing to do with pharmacology. For example, few would now initiate enalapril for hypertension, or digoxin for heart failure. Medicines have fashions as everything else does, and many drugs were modish for a limited period until succeeded by something (that seemed) better. The drug itself tells you something about when it was initiated, though not necessarily what for. Indeed, I picture older prescription items as archaeological. Older people often take medicines for which the indication is lost in the mists of telegraphic-style handwritten clinical records many decades old. The STOPP/START criteria are mainly based on this approach. Most oral NSAIDs (non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs) can be stopped, except in those with chronic inflammatory disease. As with all deprescribing, this is not as simple as it sounds, because withdrawal effects are common, even when the dose is tapered very gradually. Therefore, stopping benzodiazepines or older sedatives seems an obvious choice. The low-hanging fruit of deprescribing are those preparations that have little evidenced benefit. So, the unwary will assume that deprescribing means exactly that, and not the more holistic process Reeve et al. Words are important, and people generally believe they mean what they say. There is nothing wrong with this, of course, but it may confuse some readers. describe in detail as “deprescribing” is a rather more complete medication review than merely stopping tablets. This is confusing, because what Reeves et al. Reeve et al.’s paper is insightful, however, and the description of the process and the problems that may be encountered and how to avoid them are valuable, though much of the described method extends further than the term implies, and beyond their own definition of deprescribing. But hard evidence of value is still lacking and equivocal. Even these are selective, not least because not all deprescribing is recorded under that name. WARDEN HOUSE, 340, J.There is burgeoning literature on deprescribing, including an interesting review by Reeve et al.
