Her doctor plans to wean her off of medication soon to see how she does.
Is "wean her off of medication" correctly phrased?

Thanks!

@tanguatlay,
That sounds really wrong to me.

I would leave out 'of'.

@Region Philbis,
How about "wean her off medication"?

(Isn't English fun?)

@hightor,

my understanding is that with written english, the fewer words, the better.

but in this case, it sounds better to me with added words...

"wean her off of her medication"...
