Clinical Trial Summary

Deprescribing is defined as "the process of withdrawal of an inappropriate medication, supervised by a health care professional with the goal of managing the polypharmacy and improving outcomes". Inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is associated with severe adverse drug reactions and a major economic impact. Deprescribing should be considered when inappropriate prescription of PPI is identified. DeprescrIPP DAM is a pragmatic trial, population-based, designed in clusters. It wil assess the efficacy of a multi-faceted intervention (an educational outreach visit to general practitioners associated with the sending of patient education material to their patients) to deprescribe PPI.
