Most patients trust their primary care doctor or specialist to make the right decisions about medication. Whether prescribing antibiotics for an infection, adjusting insulin for diabetes, or managing complex drug regimens for chronic disease, doctors are responsible for ensuring medication is safe, accurate, and appropriate.
