Every nursing home resident has the right to be free from unnecessary drugs. A drug may become unnecessary when it is used in an excessive dose and/or duration, without adequate monitoring and/or indications, or in the presence of adverse consequences. For more information, please see LTCCC’s Dementia Care & Psychotropic Drugs fact sheet.
