Abstract
Abstract Writing a prescription is a duty, responsibility and a power has to be used diligently. For various reasons, our prescription sometimes becomes longer than necessary. Multiple medications can be associated with adverse outcome. Co-prescription of proton pump inhibitors with analgesics and probiotics with antibiotics may not be required routinely. Human chorionic gonadotrophin for threatened abortion deserves a relook. Progesterone during pregnancy has been overstretched. Vitamins supplementation has its place only in specific situations but tends to be over-prescribed. A rational approach while prescribing would be scientific as well as pocket-friendly to the patient.
