TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the comprehensibility of instructions on MijnGiB compared to usual-care prescription labels and assessed experiences/opinions of personalized medication overview in medication users and caregivers.

TL;DR: As a medication overview contains additional information, it can be a good addition in supporting patients in their medication use compared to usual-care PDLs, and future research should focus on identifying patient groups who might benefit more from such overview.

TL;DR: A deprescribing protocol for general practitioners was developed and tested in older patients using multiple antihypertensive medication in a single arm intervention as discussed by the authors , where the patients were included if they were 75 years or older, were using two or more anti-hypertensives, had at least one adverse drug event linked to anti-drugs, and depres prescribing was considered to be safe by their general practitioner.

TL;DR: There are large differences in strong opioid prescribing at OOH-PCSs between Flanders and the Netherlands that are likely to be caused by differences in accessibility of secondary care, and possibly existing opioid prescribing habits.
