Article Synopsis
- Inappropriate polypharmacy can lead to adverse drug events, high healthcare costs, and mortality, with deprescribing proposed as a solution to reduce these risks.
- A survey conducted among 82 healthcare providers at the University of Gondar revealed that 89% are reluctant to actively deprescribe, with physicians particularly influenced by patients' physical health conditions.
- The study suggests that attitudes towards deprescribing differ among healthcare professionals, indicating the need for further research on the barriers and facilitators specific to Ethiopia's healthcare context.
