## What is Reducere?

Problem?
〉Primary care and other practitioners do not currently have an accurate reference point to prescribe opioid dependent patients a proper tapering schedule.
〉This results in the primary care practitioner becoming stuck in a cycle continuing to indefinitely prescribe opioids or awaiting referrals to one the few available pain centers for guidance.
〉In a political climate where doctors are being prosecuted for prescribing opioids, a better solution is needed immediately. 


Solution.
〉The Reducere™ application is for practitioners to reference when prescribing an opioid tapering schedule to their patients.
〉Users input three basic fields of information; the application then outputs a proper tapering schedule based on the specified need. Reducere™ is proprietary technology and the only tool of its kind outputting an extraordinary accurate tapering schedule within seconds of initiating the query. This includes the dose, the duration, and the exact number of pills required to satisfy the taper.
〉Reducere™ leaves nothing to question and leaves nothing to be questioned of you.
〉Users can select tapering schedules based on percentages per unit of time (day / week / month), or the practitioner can select a desired end date to stop prescribing and Reducere™ will handle the rest.


Leaves Nothing to Question.
〉This is an invaluable, ad free, tool for any practitioner needing to accurately decrease patients opioids. Reducere™ can also be used by patients and families to start the tapering discussion with their provider.
〉The speed, ease and accuracy of the output achieved in the Reducere™ application simply can not be achieved otherwise without time consuming calculations and looking up dosing options.
〉All the information you need is contained within the Reducere™ application. Reducere™ will even generate warnings if withdraw symptoms are likely. Don’t just guess what the dose “should” be. 


Download Now!
〉Don’t just guess what “should” be well tolerated. In an environment where we are all constrained by time, Reducere™ is offering to do in seconds what would take up to an entire patient encounter to figure out and serves to avoid future time consuming issues by taking the guesswork out of these calculations.
〉The customized tapering schedules can be printed or emailed with one touch. Share the output to your EMR and patients directly, leaving no questions about your detailed plan.

### 1/5 — App Store fails to mention this app requires subscription

*2024-04-01*

And 10 per month for what is essentially a calculator seems a bit steep. I’d do 2 - 5 USD. Definitely not 10 USD.

### 1/5 — This app should be ashamed

*2021-11-14*

For this app to charge people who are trying to get off drugs has hit a new level. You are actually worse than the pharmaceutical company and doctors that put in that position

### 2/5 — $9.99 a month is too much!

*2019-06-13, version 1.02*

While this app can be helpful, it is basically just a calculator with dose reduction, recommendations, and warnings built in. That information is already available for free on the internet. This app simply lays out the plan for you in a nice format. That in my opinion is not worth $9.99 a month! This would be better as a one time purchase of a few dollars.

### 5/5 — Incredibly valuable!

*2019-02-17*

This is so much more than a way to decrease dosages. This app calculates the most accurate tapering schedules taking into account all the available dosing options and does it for the entire duration of the taper. I know that my patients will have the most tolerable tapering schedules and there will not be a need for prescribing withdrawal medications, polypharmacy, or worrying about dangerous behaviors associated with unnecessary withdrawal symptoms. This is worth far more than its minimal cost.

### 5/5 — OUTSTANDING

*2019-01-26*

Quick, simple, accurate, and provides all the necessary information to implement with confidence!

### 5/5 — EXCEPTIONAL!

*2019-01-25*

Clearly laid out search options allows you to  find the necessary information with ease.
