Pharmacists have an integral role in reducing the number of medicine adverse effects experienced by patients and to optimise medicine effectiveness.
Comprehensive medication review (e.g. HMR/RMMR) with a structured deprescribing focus, can assist to reduce the number of hospital admissions that occur in Australian resulting from potentially preventable medicine adverse effects.
The below resources and activities have been specifically designed to assist pharmacists to identify when medicines may be contributing to adverse effects and provide a framework to reduce these harms when completing complex medicine reviews.
