Adherence to Antibiotic Prescriptions Among Dental Patients in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
The results of the study suggest that the level of adherence to antibiotic prescription among dental patients in Saudi Arabia is low, and this is of great concern to AMR. It is hereby imperative to tackle the elements that lead to nonadherence to maintain the efficacy of antibiotics and protect public health. Healthcare stakeholders can achieve AMR reduction and optimal patient outcomes by implementing focused interventions and public health efforts.
