Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a guide for general dental practitioners who may need to prescribe medication to Muslim patients, particularly during the month of Ramadan. An understanding and appreciation of the patient's religious background will aid treatment compliance and allow dentists to provide a culturally sensitive service for their Muslim patients. Drug therapy compliance is important, but it is likely to be poor among Muslim patients during the month of Ramadan, when fasting and religious practices may cause problems. The authors provide guidelines on good clinical practice and prescribing regimens for general dental practitioners treating Muslim patients, particularly during Ramadan.
