Abstract

An anonymous poll was conducted, targeting medics in health institutions in the area of Novi Sad, Bačka Palanka, Bač, Temerin and Odžak (south Bačka region). Doctors involved in this survey are representative sample of the total population. Aim of the survey was to analyse drugs prescription and use in modern medicine, as well as to determine the extent of compliance of general medicine doctors with modern pharmacotherapy requirements. Results show that more than a half of doctors feel that the positive list corresponds to real needs, and that the price of medicaments and participation is low. Also, they believe that the drug consumption exceeds real needs. The high percent of medics does not have sufficient knowledge of the modern pharmacotherapy attitude towards the certain drugs use, which demonstrates the lack of continuing education in the field.
