Summary

This trial will test whether reducing the number of medications people take will improve cognitive function and safety.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 65 or older who have seen their primary care doctor in the past year, are currently using certain anticholinergic medications known to affect memory, can speak English, and have a phone. It's not for those living in nursing homes or with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's Disease or related dementias.
What is being tested?
The study tests if stopping the use of specific anticholinergic drugs (deprescribing) can improve cognitive function compared to usual care without deprescribing. Participants will be grouped by their healthcare provider and randomly assigned to either continue usual care or start the deprescribing process.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from deprescribing may include withdrawal symptoms like nausea, sweating, restlessness; changes in blood pressure; confusion; heart rate changes; and possible worsening of conditions previously managed by these medications.
