In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

We hypothesise that a short-term intervention by dispensing pharmacists is feasible and relatively easy to implement, and that it could have an impact on the deprescribing of BZD/Z in adult patients. Two primary objectives will be evaluated in a sequential hierarchical manner, with two primary endpoints analysed one after the other, without alpha risk adjustment, but the second can only be analysed if the null hypothesis is rejected for the first: 1. Evaluate the impact of brief motivational intervention (BMI) on reducing the daily dose of BZD/Z prescribed at 6 months (superiority hypothesis) compared with the usual practice of dispensing BZD/Z in pharmacies. 2. Evaluate the impact of BMI on clinical worsening at 6 months (non-inferiority hypothesis) in comparison with the usual practice of dispensing BZD/Z in pharmacies.
