Medicines management is a complex set of activities and although current coping strategies exists, these were primarily used by family carers or the person with dementia-carer dyad. Health and social care practitioners and researchers should seek to understand in-depth the "mechanisms of action" of existing coping strategies and actively involve people with dementia as co-producers of knowledge to underpin any further work on medicines management.
