Abstract

Primary health care providers play a critical role in maintaining public health, and the appropriate prescription of pharmaceutical products is a major component of their practice. This series of articles entitled 'Clinical Pharmacology Review for Primary Health Care Providers' is intended to help primary health care providers select more appropriate prescriptions for frequently used drugs based on up-to-date information. We expect that this effort will contribute to improvements in public health and diminish unnecessary drug use.
