Medication use is at an all-time high, especially in aging populations, and medication harm is one of the few preventable causes of harm in medicine. Polypharmacy, Appropriate Prescribing, and Deprescribing: A Clinician’s Guide is a first-of-its kind resource that provides clinicians and trainees with current, authoritative guidance and skill-building insights on how and when to use the right medications, and how and when medications should be stopped. This timely, instructive text is a must-have reference for a wide variety of healthcare practitioners and is particularly useful in the outpatient office where the majority of chronic medication prescribing and reviewing takes place. The text is an essential educational resource now and in the future as the burden of polypharmacy continues to expand globally.
