Prescription-free consultation: A cross-sectional study in general practice

CONCLUSION: Acute consultations limit prescription-free consultations. General practitioners (GPs) probably overestimate patients' expectation of drug prescription. The French GP must be supported in their decision to not prescribe drugs. This is a long-term investment of time, to educate patients and avoid new consultations for acute reasons. A tool to help doctors manage non-prescription during acute consultations will be created in a future study in France.PMID:37625938 | DOI:10.1016/j.therap.2023.07.003
