Deprescribing antihypertensives in primary care: clinical and safety outcomes among older adults

There was no difference in BP control at 12 months after deprescribing despite a transient decline at 3 months. This supports the feasibility of deprescribing antihypertensives in older adults in primary care. Further research is needed to evaluate the safety outcomes in larger populations with specific cardiovascular comorbidities.

Abstract

There was no difference in BP control at 12 months after deprescribing despite a transient decline at 3 months. This supports the feasibility of deprescribing antihypertensives in older adults in primary care. Further research is needed to evaluate the safety outcomes in larger populations with specific cardiovascular comorbidities.
