VALLEJOS NARVAEZ, Álvaro; DIAZ RODRIGUEZ, Viviana Andrea y PRECIADO CORREAL, Gloria Marcela. Optimizing pharmacotherapy through deprescription: Case report. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.1, pp.17-27. Epub 10-Nov-2020. ISSN 0034-7418. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcciquifa.v49n1.86736.
Polypharmacy is the simultaneous use or excess of dosage of medicines and it has shown a tendency to increase in recent years, as well as the clinical symptoms associated with secondary drug interactions, thus leading to the addition of more and more medications, generating the cascade phenomenon of prescription. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman, identified from a transactional platform of registration of prescribed drugs of an EPS, who was followed up on her outpatient pharmacological treatment for 7 months, in which she presented persistent polypharmacy. It was identified in the case possible errors in medication and possible adjustments to the therapy that would decrease the risk of interactions or prescription cascade.
