Costs‐Outcome Description Arising From Side Effects due the Over‐Prescription of Antibiotics in Oral Healthcare in Chile
The study evaluated the economic burden of antibiotic over-prescription in oral healthcare, in terms of adverse reactions, highlighting the need for better prescribing practices. It suggested that significant cost-savings (USD: 9.5 million) could be achieved by reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions. By addressing this challenge, we can not only alleviate the financial burden on society but also contribute to the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.
