Aging is a complex process and many factors in the elderly, especially multiple diseases and related unnecessary drug use, support a deprescription approach to this age group to save money and health cost. In this review, we have searched for studies related to the pharmacoeconomic aspect of this deprescription approach in the elderly. Few studies are available, but they are promising and effective in paving the way for prospective longitudinal studies to assess the role of deprescription in optimizing the drugs prescribed to aged patients in a way that reduces the costs of both drug adverse effects and/or hospitalization. Awareness of deprescription is important not only to society, but also to hospital stuff and individual patients.
