Weaning off Weaning off medication means to cease using it slowly so as not to have any side effects. A bit like kicking off a drug or other substance.
Dorine Oz-Vermeulen Mar 11, 2009:
adjustment of medication couldn't it be -adjustment of medication- i.e. in the case of diabetic patients who need adjustments on a regular basis and sometimes need to stay overnight in the hospital, in order to get it right. I understand that I cannot submit it as answer, because it is not my specialty and I wasn't notified of the question

Medication Check

Translates as..

Reason for inclusion:

Rearrangement of medication regimen

If you try the combination polyfarmacie+sanering, you will note that this term is used quite often in situations where too many medications are being taken by a patient. Saneren = 'op orde brengen'; I was not able to find an English equivalent but in reviewing some of the articles I came across, it appears this term means clearing out all of the unecessary meds and keeping the number as low as possible (including stopping or cutting down several meds). This is how I would translate it. Good luck!

medication review

"If you are taking multiple medications, it is recommended to have a medication review once a year with your doctor or a licensed pharmacist. Come learn about Medication Safety tips and have one-on-one time with a licensed pharmacist to review your medications and answer any questions you might have."

medication rationalisation

This seems to be pretty close to the idea - sorting out what the opatient is taking and making sure the meds are being taken correctly.
