Deprescribing is a book category focused on the deliberate, evidence-based process of reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be beneficial or could be causing harm, particularly in people with polypharmacy, multimorbidity, or advanced age. Titles in this genre cover clinical frameworks and tools for medication review, risk–benefit assessment, and stepwise tapering; guidelines and algorithms for specific drug classes (e.g., benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, PPIs, opioids, antihypertensives); and strategies for monitoring, withdrawal management, and avoiding prescribing cascades. They emphasize shared decision-making, patient communication, and aligning treatment with individual goals, while addressing implementation, ethics, health-system workflows, and policy. The category spans geriatrics, primary care, pharmacy, palliative care, mental health, and chronic disease management, aiming to improve safety, quality of life, and care value.
