Prescription information leaflets (PILs) for penicillins, diuretics and benzodiazepines were evaluated in a small Hampshire town. A second town, in which no leaflets were distributed, acted as a control. Knowledge about these medicines was greater amongst the 252 patients who received leaflets compared with 247 controls. Significantly more patients who received leaflets knew the potential side-effects of their treatment and, with the exception of those taking penicillins, were more satisfied with the information they received. These findings add further support for the routine use of PILs in general practice.
在汉普郡的一个小镇上，对青霉素、利尿剂和苯二氮卓类药物的处方信息单进行了评估。第二个未发放信息单的小镇用作对照。与247名对照患者相比，在收到信息单的252名患者中，对这些药物的了解程度更高。收到信息单的患者中，明显有更多人知道其治疗的潜在副作用，除了服用青霉素的患者外，他们对所获得的信息更满意。这些发现进一步支持了在全科医疗中常规使用处方信息单。
