EFFICIENCY OF PREVENTIVE TREATMENT

Zvonko Rumboldt

Abstract

Preventive medicine is aimed at disease fighting before clinical manifestations take place, mainly at control of the respective risk factors. General measures in terms of life-style modification are much more important, proficient and cost-effective than drugs. Therefore the use of medicines in this field must be particularly well funded and considerate since hasty drug prescription may do more harm than good.
