| Abstrakt: | The therapeutic structure of health systems relies heavily on medical prescription, which generates a marked tendency to add drugs to a patient's medical history. There is an absence of incentives for professionals to reassess prescriptions and withdraw those with a negative or neutral risk/benefit. This can create a deviation of medical resources to the maintenance of useless or even harmful treatments. Deprescribing, a process of thoughtful medication withdrawal that complements moderate prescribing, is aimed to stop this unfair deviation of resources towards non-beneficial, if not maleficent, prescription.
