Last year the Archives of Internal Medicine published a feasibility study of drug discontinuation among elderly people in Israel,3 with extraordinary findings. Using an established tool, researchers were able to cut the average number of medications in half, from roughly eight to fewer than four per person. Just 2% of discontinued drugs were restarted; no adverse effects of discontinuation were reported; and almost 90% of people reported better health.
