Prescribed medication at end of life

This will depend on the individual child:

• Aim to minimise the burden of treatment. Only give treatment when needed.
• Stop supplements or any medications which will not affect the child’s outcome.
• Rationalise and continue analgesia and symptom control drugs.
• Review the use of medications that address the underlying condition, such as diuretics for heart failure, as they may still be useful at the end-of-life.
