When you visit the doctor, the question is usually: “What should we add?”

A new pill. A new treatment. A new dose.

But almost no one asks: “What can we take away?”

That question matters. Over time, prescriptions stack up. Some are still helpful, but others may no longer make sense. That is where deprescribing comes in. It is the process of making sure every medication has a clear purpose.

Because good care is not about the most prescriptions. It is about the right prescriptions. 💊❤️

Guess what happens when a Nurse Caregiver and Deprescribing Pharmacist collaborate ?!

A bag full of unecessary Meds we can take off our client’s plate ! Clarity on Next Steps with their Prescriber! Less Meds to Juggle with some money saved! Smiles and Hugs after the consult !

GeriatRx teamed up with Golden HarmonyConcierge Care for a Medication Audit and Home Visit at one of our local independent living communities in the Triangle! While the amazing Ashley organized and filled the pill boxes, we got to work asking critical questions about the efficacy and necessity of certain medications.

We found a number of meds that can be disposed due to being outdated or no longer in use as well! Best part is the family has a written Medication Audit they can take their providers to have candid discussions on some of the current prescriptions in question!

What started as a small home visit led to nearly 10 OTCs that we can safely stop for the client along with some expired meds !

Huge win for the family! Bigger win for the Deprescribing mission !!

Every patient processes medications differently, and much of that comes down to genetics.

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing reveals how a person’s DNA impacts the way their body metabolizes certain drugs. For example:

• Variations in liver enzymes (like CYP450) can determine whether a medication is metabolized too quickly (reducing effectiveness) or too slowly (raising toxicity risk).
• PGx can guide dosing adjustments, helping avoid trial-and-error prescribing.
• It also identifies when alternative therapies may be safer or more effective.

For clinicians, PGx provides powerful insight: it’s not just about which medication to prescribe, but also how that medication will work for a specific patient.

Personalized medicine starts with understanding the science inside each of us.

When we think about the “future of healthcare,” we often picture new medicines or new technology.

But sometimes, the future is about taking a step back.

👉 Do all of these medications still make sense?

👉 Are they helping, or causing more harm than good?

For many older adults, the answer is complicated. That is why deprescribing is so important. It is not just about living longer, but about living well.

At GeriatRx, we are working toward a future where medications support healthy aging without unnecessary complexity. 🌿

Sometimes the best medicine isn’t a song. 🎶

Fun Fact: Research shows that music therapy can reduce anxiety, improve memory, and even lower the need for certain medications in older adults. Studies have found that music activates multiple areas of the brain, helping regulate mood, reduce pain perception, and enhance overall quality of life.

This matters because in elder care, every unnecessary pill can increase the risk of side effects, falls, or confusion. Integrating therapies like music, art, and movement into care plans can be a powerful complement to deprescribing strategies, supporting both safety and joy.

At GeriatRx, we believe quality of life is just as important as quantity of prescriptions.

At GeriatRx, we believe something simple:

💊 Every pill should have a purpose.

If a medication does not help you feel better, stay healthier, or live the life you want, it might be time to ask if it is still needed.

That is what deprescribing is all about. Not taking things away, but making sure medications truly serve *you.*

Because your health should feel clear, not confusing.

Welcome to our “ Red Pill or Blue Pill” Live Series brought to you by GeriatRx and the Deprescribing Accelerator!

Here are some quick Deprescribing tips concierge Aging Life Care Professionals, Aging-Friendly businesses, PT/OT/ST's Home Health, NP's/PA's, and Aging Friendly Pharmacists can use to bring about Deprescribing conversations. We give you some key questions that anyone can use when looking over those long medication lists! Use some of the tips from your favorite Deprescribing Pharmacist!

-How are we using empathetic-based care and trust?
-Are they on more than 5 medications?
-Have you crosschecked the med list with anything from the Beers' List?
- Are said medications Vital and Important for them to live?
- What's the lifetime benefit for this medication now?
- Is this medication being used as a result of another medication?

Over the next few days we’ll be sharing how YOU can learn to STOP and SPOT dangerous medication use in our older patients.

This is a movement to break out against our broken health system by reducing harm, saving our patients time and money, and bring patient advocacy to a new level while growing your practice!

In the US, We waste nearly half a TRILLION dollars from our taxpayers due to mismanaged medications. Because of this nearly 275,000 people die annually….. from our own health system!

When we start addressing the topic of stopping harmful medications in seniors there are quite a few steps that need to take place. Patients are the CEO of their health, so nothing can truly happen if there isn’t patient buy-in as well as shared decision making between their care team and providers.

You DON’T have to be a pharmacist to be a DEPRESCRIBING advocate when it comes stopping harmful medication use in older patients, but it definitely helps to have one by your side!

Partner with us today! Schedule your appointment at geriatrx.as.me under Deprescribing Accelerator. We start next month with our Deprescribing Accelerator!
