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.
