Sažetak
Drug prescribing is one of the daily activities in the work of family physicians. The role of family physicians as gate keepers of health care system, personal, professional and moral responsibility and obligation of rational allocation of resources in the health care system affect everyday decision-making in the delivery of health care and drug prescribing. Family physicians’ care for patient as a complete person, is taking into account his/her biological, psychological, social and cultural features. Patients with multimorbidity use more than one drug, what is associated with a higher risk for adverse reactions and interactions and poly pharmacy. The costs for drug prescription are increasing in all developed countries of Europe and world, in Croatia as well. A challenge in the daily work of family physicians is rational drug prescribing to people with multimorbidity and elderly people. Knowing the patient for a long time as well as continuity of care is essential to ensure the family physicians’ good care. In drug prescribing evidence-based medicine should be applied, but also the principles of patientcentered care that will ensure compliance and achievement of the desired outcomes.
