Deprescribing cholinesterase inhibitors at the end of life #354

Article

LIAO, Pamela | PERRI, Giulia-Anna

Cholinesterase inhibitors (CHEIs) are the most commonly prescribed agents to delay the progression of cognitive decline from dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other degenerative neurologic diseases. Yet, as dementia progresses, the effectiveness of CHEIs diminish while adverse effects can mount. Other Fast Facts addressed dementia's natural history (# 150) and tension points in medical decision making (# 84). This Fast Facts addresses deprescribing considerations for CHEIs.
