Sammanfattning
INTERPRETATION : The comparison with the neighbouring community was a good starting point for change. The most important contributing factor was probably the consistent approach of the doctors involved.
RESULTS : The reduction observed was 33% over one year. The number of prescriptions in the neighbouring community remained unchanged.
MATERIAL AND METHODS : A retrospective analysis of this reduction is presented.
BACKGROUND : General practitioners in our community found that the use of drugs with restrictions on prescription was twice that of a neighbouring community, and made an effort at cutting down on the prescription of such drugs.
