PROMOTING SAFE AND APPROPRIATE USE OF MEDICATIONS
FOR ALL CANADIANS
The Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network is a group of clinicians, educators, people with lived experience, policymakers, and researchers. We work together to produce, share, and apply information to promote the safe and appropriate use of medications.
A free, evidence-informed, interactive online course to increase primary care providers’ awareness, knowledge & skills in deprescribing.
This two-part article describes the different uses for antidepressants, their benefits, side effects and potential safety concerns.
Explore the stories of patients and caregivers who faced medication overload or side effects, and the steps they took to find solutions.
The Network is proud to unite along with 10 organizations to form the Appropriate Use Coalition, a grassroots group committed to improving patient outcomes and reducing risks through appropriate prescribing.
