Factors Influencing Primary Care Physicians’ Adjustment of Oral Anti-Diabetic Drugs in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Research Study

The study highlights the multifaceted factors influencing PCPs' prescribing of OADs, including clinical experience, patient preferences, drug formulary limitations, medication costs and EMR utilisation. To enhance prescribing habits, interventions should focus on continuous education for PCPs, expanding drug formularies, addressing patients' preferences, cost and access barriers through subsidies and promoting the adoption of EMRs with clinical decision support systems in both public and private sectors.
