Resumo: | <p><b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To describe the psychotropic drug deprescription process in older patients of a geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic. <br> <b>METHODS:</b> We conducted a quasi-experimental study of people aged ≥  60 years who were treated at Hospital São Lucas' Geriatric Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic, which is affiliated with Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data on 150 older people were collected from March 2021 to August 2022 and were evaluated by the pharmacists. The inclusion criteria were age ≥ 60 years, being a patient of the hospital's Geriatric Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic, use of at least one psychotropic drug, and agreeing to participate in the study. Those unable to report their medications and those who only came to the first appointment were excluded. <br> <b>RESULTS:</b> Overall, deprescription of at least one psychotropic drug was indicated in 61.3% (n = 92) of the participants, and it was effectively implemented in 68.5% (n = 63) of this group. Deprescribing, which was more frequent in the youngest age group (60–69 years) (p = 0.049), was indicated for 37.4% (n = 136) of psychotropic drugs, 67.6% (n = 92) of which were effectively deprescribed. The main classes indicated for deprescription were hypnotics and sedatives (90.0%; n = 18) and anxiolytics (73.3%; n = 11). <br> <b>CONCLUSIONS:</b> At least 1 psychotropic drug was indicated for deprescription in the majority of the patients, and in most cases it was effectively implemented. One-third of the prescribed psychotropic drugs were indicated for deprescription, and more than half were successfully deprescribed.</p> |
