Non-guideline-recommended prescribing of proton pump inhibitors in the general population.

CONCLUSION: A novel approach was used to quantify NGRP of PPIs in a Spanish community, as well as the associated economic costs. Qualitative studies are needed to better understand the causes of NGRP of PPIs. This analysis will aid in designing interventions to minimize this problem. LIMITATIONS: Qualitative studies are needed to better understand the attitude of health professionals when prescribing PPIs. PMID: 28318318 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
