[Challenges for and potential approaches to deprescribing]

Deprescribing is often challenged by differing attitudes of patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals. Such attitudes are summarised in this review. Patients may hold conflicting views, relatives influence decisions, and healthcare professionals face barriers such as a lack of guidance, uncertainty about benefits and harm, and resource constraints. Increasing awareness of these perspectives and integrating structured tools, clear guidance, and patient involvement in the deprescribing process can support shared decision-making and improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.
