title: Rational drug use in Tobago.
abstract: Health workers in Tobago found that patients frequently failed to make proper use of the drugs prescribed to them because the treatment had not been clearly explained. Closer contact between the doctors, pharmacists and nurses would enable staff to understand the situation better and communicate more effectively with patients.
