[Optimization of good use of medicinal products].
Optimization of good use of medicinal products is aimed at allowing the patient to benefit fully from the efficacy of the prescribed treatment while limiting the negative impact of adverse effects. The prescriber and the dispensing pharmacist have an important complementary role crucial for the good use of medicinal products. This potential must be developed and improved. Patients' awareness should be reinforced, particularly be encouraging their dialogue with healthcare professionals. Improvement of the current situation can be based on self-appropriation of suitable information by each of the participants, leading to changing behavior. Common elaboration and diffusion of recommendations by the French National Academies of Medicine and Pharmacology would allow significant progress in good use of medicines.
