Reducing antibiotic use for respiratory infections in Swiss primary care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether following a national guideline for treating common respiratory infections (like colds, sore throats, or bronchitis) can help doctors in Switzerland prescribe fewer antibiotics.
