Abstract

People receiving long-term antidepressant drug therapy can find it continues for years without review, which may not be the best treatment for their condition. A pilot nurse-led medication review clinic for such clients was found to provide a cost-effective assessment and, if necessary, an appropriate adjustment of their regimen. INSET: Case study.
