odstawieniu

Odstawienie, inflected as odstawieniu in the dative and locative singular, is a Polish noun that denotes the act of removing something from use, discontinuation, or withdrawal. It is formed from the verb odstawić (to set aside, remove, discontinue) with the suffix -enie, which marks a process or action.

In usage, odstawienie applies to various domains. In medicine and pharmacology, it refers to stopping a drug or therapy, often under medical supervision to prevent adverse effects or withdrawal symptoms. In public policy and consumer safety, it can describe the withdrawal of a product from use or sale, or the cessation of a program. In everyday language, odstawienie can mean putting aside or setting something aside for later use, such as odstawienie zabawki (putting a toy away).

Context and nuance matter for understanding odstawienie. It generally conveys a planned or intentional cessation rather than a sudden accident, though the term can be used in both contexts. It is related to other terms such as wycofanie (recall or withdrawal from the market) and zakończenie (conclusion or completion), but odstawienie emphasizes the act of removing from active use.

Examples of usage include: „Lekarz zalecił odstawienie leku” and „Odstawienie terapii nastąpiło po ocenie korzyści i ryzyka.” These sentences illustrate the concept as a process of discontinuation rather than simply ending.
