posponedores

English translation: procastinators

Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / medicamentos: inmunodepresores
Spanish term or phrase: posponedores
I need help with the term 'posponedores'. I believe it refers to patients but I cannot find a translation for it.
I came across no respondedores as well which I translated as 'non-responders' but that was a much easier shot.

Thank you
