Deprescribing is a strategy to reduce potential harms associated with polypharmacy. This scoping review synthesized the evidence about how physicians and patients feel about deprescribing and how deprescribing can be done safely. Shared decision making was identified as an essential component for building trust in the process and for keeping it patient-centered.
