“…The majority of orofacial infections require both systemic and local management. [9][10][11][12] Systemic management is mostly by antibiotics, and hence, these antibiotics are pharmacotherapeutic adjuncts prescribed by dentists. 1-13-15 Inappropriate, indiscriminate, and irrational use of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic resistance.…”

Antibiotic prescription is a common practice among dental practitioners. Unjustified antibiotic prescription is leading to antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this survey is to analyze the most commonly prescribed antibiotics, conditions in which antibiotics are being prescribed, either the dental surgeons prescribe the antibiotics in the conditions where they are not recommended and awareness of antibiotic resistance among the dental practitioners of Lahore. METHODOLOGY: The study aimed to identify the prevalence of unjustified prescription of antibiotics so we can take measures to teach dental students about this wrong and unjustified prescription in undergraduate studies. It was an observational crosssectional study. Among dental practitioners of Lahore, 380 were selected through a non-probability convenience sampling technique. Standardized; a previously validated questionnaire was used containing 18 questions, about the most commonly prescribed antibiotics, conditions where antibiotics are indicated, and antibiotic resistance. Data was coded in SPSS version 20. RESULTS: It showed the studied sample of dental practitioners tends towards the over-prescription of antibiotics. CONCLUSION: Dentists should prescribe antibiotics only according to the latest guidelines, where it is indicated. It should not be a first-line treatment modality.

Purpose To present the antibiotic prescription trend between 2011–2018 at primary healthcare in Turkey in order to evaluate the effects of interventions at national level for providing rational prescription of antibiotics. Methods Electronic prescription data of the family physicians collected from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2018 in 81 provinces of Turkey were recorded through the Prescription Information System and screened for the antimicrobial drugs. The interventions to promote rational antibiotic use during 2011–2018 in Turkey includes reminding the legislation to stop access of antibiotics without prescription, monitoring of antibiotic prescription behaviors of primary healthcare physicians, and education of healthcare workers and the public on the appropriate use of antibiotics. Results A total of 1 054 261 396 prescriptions for outpatients of all age groups were recorded during this period. Of the prescriptions written by family physcians, 34.94% were containing at least one antibiotic in 2011, which declined to 24.55% in 2018. Antibiotics constituted 13.99% of all the items in prescriptions in 2011 and 10.47% in 2018. Percentage of total antibiotic expenditure to the total drug expanditure decreased from 14.14% to 4.12% during 2011–2018. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were amoxicillin and enzyme inhibitor combination, cefdinir, and cefuroxime during 2011–2018, with an increasing trend for prescription of first‐line antibiotic, amoxicillin, in recent years. Conclusions Governmental interventions at national level have contributed to reducing antibiotic prescription and increasing preference of first‐line antibiotics at primary healthcare level in Turkey over a course of 8 years. Turkey's model of governmental interventions may set an example for other countries with high consumption of antibiotics, and contribute to the actions against antimicrobial resistance worldwide.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Tu rkiye'de antibiyotik tu ketim miktarının ve antibiyotik reçeteleme uygulamalarının Ekonomik Kalkınma ve İ şbirlig i Ö rgu tu (ÖECD) u lkeleri ile karşılaştırmalı olarak deg erlendirilmesidir. Bu amaçla ÖECD Sag lık Verileri ve Du nya Sag lık Ö rgu tu (DSÖ ) Avrupa Antimikrobiyal İ laçlar Tu ketim Ag ı veritabanları u zerinden Tu rkiye ve ÖECD u lkelerindeki antibiyotik tu ketim ve reçeteleme verileri, karşılaştırılmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Antibiyotik tu ketim hacmi, DİD (her 1000 kişi için tanımlanmış gu nlu k doz) olarak verilmiştir. Tu rkiye'nin 2013'de 41.1 DİD olan toplam sistemik antibakteriyel ilaç tu ketim hacmi, 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında sırasıyla 35.5 DİD ve 31.0 DİD du zeyine du şmu ştu r. Tu rkiye ÖECD u lkeleri arasında, 2013'de en yu ksek antibiyotik tu ketimine sahipken, 2018'de bu tu ketimde %24.6'lık bir du şu ş go stermiştir. DSÖ veritabanında Tu rkiye'de beta-laktam grubu antibiyotiklerin kullanım oranı 2013-2017 yılları arasında %43.9'dan %47'ye çıkarken, sefalosporinlerin kullanım oranı % 32.1'den %26.4'e du şmu ştu r. Tu rkiye'de tu ketilen toplam antibiyotik miktarının sadece %41.3'u nu n birinci basamak sag lık hizmetlerinde reçetelenmektedir, bu deg er tu m ÖECD u lkeleri arasındaki en du şu k orandır. Sonuç olarak, Tu rkiye ÖECD u lkeleri arasında hala en yu ksek antibiyotik tu ketim miktarına sahip u lkeler arasındadır. Ancak, o zellikle 2016 yılından itibaren Tu rkiye'de antibiyotik tu ketim miktarında belirgin du şu ş olması ve "birinci sıra" antibiyotikler tuketiminde artışla birlikte "ikinci sıra" antibiyotiklerin tu ketiminde azalma olması dikkat çekicidir. Bu olumlu ve umut verici bulguların, ulusal du zeyde alınan tedbirlerin sonucu oldug u du şu nu lmektedir.
