China's top health authority yesterday issued its first national guidebook on prescription drugs to improve their use across the country.
The pocket-sized manual will soon be distributed among doctors nationwide to guide the use of prescriptions.
"An important part of the national drug policy, the guide will help curb improper drug use, particularly over-prescription," said Wang Yu, director of the medical administration department under the Ministry of Health.
