Show Notes

Join me with integrative pharmacist, Dr. Trang Nguyen, as we dig deep on Deprescribing, what it is and how to do it.  Anyone who is on a journey to feeling healthier and is taking medications needs a strategy to start coming off medications, which is deprescribing. 

In this episode, we’ll cover how the following medications can be prescribed and how you can approach this with your doctor and pharmacist.
In this episode, we will discuss deprescribing:

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI's): omeprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole

Anti-Depressants such as: Escitalopram, citalopram, sertraline,

We also discuss strategies to deprescribing Opioids and Benzodiazepines.
