I still taking this proton pump inhibitor?”

This approach is part of “deprescribing”: the goal is not to eliminate treatment that is still necessary, but to avoid indefinitely continuing a medication that is no longer needed. This naturally applies to many other medications that are renewed without regular review.

The key message, therefore, is not “stop taking omeprazole,” but rather “regularly question the actual need for this treatment.”

For the best prescription remains the one you fully understand.
