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.

This tool shows you which medication review services are available in your province or territory, who is eligible, and how to access them.

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.
