| Abstract (43) | : | Actual prescriptions were examined for one complete month and the physicians writing these were judged on the criteria of effectivenss and safety in what is prescribed. These criteria were correlated with professional, educational and demographic characteristics of the doctors. A tendency to incautious prescribing (use of preparations whihc have the property of frequently displaying unwanted side effects) was associated with a declared dependence on pharmaceutical industry literature. |
