Medication De-prescribing
Did you know that certain medications decrease in effect the longer you take them?
Medication plays an essential role in managing many health conditions, especially chronic ones. However, over time, the same medications that once helped may no longer be suitable. As we age or our health circumstances change, certain drugs might even cause more harm than good. According to a study published by the NIH, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in the United States. This realization underscores the need for continuous evaluation and, if necessary, the careful process of de-prescribing medications.
At Vitopia, we believe that optimizing medication is not just about what to take, but also about what you might need to stop taking. Our Medication De-Prescribing Care Program focuses on assessing and adjusting your medication therapy to match your current health needs.
