ER pharmacists step in to cut risky meds for dementia patients
NCT ID NCT06273917
Summary
This study tested a new program where emergency room pharmacists review the medications of patients with dementia or mild memory problems. The goal was to see if pharmacists could identify and recommend stopping unnecessary or potentially harmful brain-affecting drugs, and then communicate those recommendations to the patient's regular doctor. The study involved 300 adults and aimed to gather information to plan a larger future study on whether this approach improves patient safety.
