As primary care providers, it is our duty to ensure that the medications we are prescribing to our patients do not do more harm than good. Any goal of pharmaceutical therapy is to aid our patients during their time of medical need. As with anything in medicine, there is always risk involved. No matter how small the risk is, there is always some degree of risk. Primary care providers, when prescribing medication, must always do a risk/benefit analysis to see if the overall benefits of the medication being prescribed outweigh the risks of the medication.
