A retired GP and senior research fellow in Leeds, UK, Arnold Zermansky expresses frustration at the term “deprescribing” in articles. Having spent three decades researching patients and their medications, he believes the term oversimplifies the complex process of adjusting or stopping medications. Zermansky compares it to describing football as being about the ball rather than the players and teamwork involved. He believes that deprescribing should take into account the individual patient’s needs and circumstances, while also emphasizing the importance of proper medication management.
