Abstract
LIFSHITZ, Alberto et al. Libertad de prescripción médica. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2019, vol.155, n.2, pp.202-203. Epub July 01, 2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.19005082.
Doctors require flexibility for prescription. However, some limits are laid down both by current knowledge and by restrictions imposed by access and rules and regulations. The Committee for Ethics and Transparency in the Physician-Industry Relationship (CETREMI) of the National Academy of Medicine proposes several suggestions to help patients, which include the selection of the best alternatives for each case, formalization of prescription standards variations (doses, drug indications, etc.) written down in the medical records, and avoidance of fashions, untested novelties, argumentations solely based on advertising or commercial promotion and conflicts of interest.
