The majority of the antimicrobial drugs prescribed were from the penicillin group (71.9%; CI95% 67.0-76.2), 99.7% of which were amoxicillin with or without clavulanic acid. The second most commonly prescribed drugs were the macrolides (16.7%; CI95% 13.2-20.8). The majority (92.8%) had 3 to 5 errors. The most frequent errors were as follows spelling of the drug name not in accordance with the DCB (72.1%), and the absence of patient information such as age (99.7%), gender (99.8%), and address (87.0%).
