Abstract

Prescription drug abuse is a problem with potentially grave consequences for patients and their families. Primary care physicians can play a major role in curbing prescription drug abuse by learning to recognize drug-seeking behavior and other warning signs, by educating patients about their drug regimens, and by setting firm but reasonable prescribing guidelines for their practices.
