Most of the antidepressants are prescribed at dosages lower than those recommended. There is a need to design educational strategies to correct some prescription practices and to conduct research
Quality and effectiveness of diabetes care for a group of patients in Colombia
Despite high testing rates, metabolic control was not effective. Low rates of medication adjustment among patients with measures outside target ranges suggest the need for changes in routine diabetes care to ensure therapeutic regimens are adjusted appropriately
Patrones de prescripción de antidiabéticos en un grupo de pacientes colombianos
There are significant differences in oral therapies prescribed for diabetes across the 19 cities studied, but overall, prescription patterns are appropriate. Educational strategies should be developed to address those prescribing practices that are not appropriate, and the clinical results of the medications studied should be explored
