A controlled clinical study was carried out in order to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized prescription as a measure to improve the fulfillment of a short course antibiotic treatment. 180 patients completed the study (96 in the active group and 88 in the control group) finding no differences in selected variables between the two groups. Evaluation of treatment fulfillment was performed with an interview and counting the pills, finding with this method that 57.94% of the patients fulfilled the treatment. Except for a higher incidence of adverse side effects in the control group (p less than 0.05) no other significant differences were found between the two groups. The interview showed a 37% sensibility and a 97% specificity, which was specially usefull in the detection of nonfulfillers. The correlation coefficient between both groups was 0.66 (p less than 0.001). Our results suggest that the personalized prescription does not improve the patient compliance achieved by a good verbal information in the short course antibiotic treatment.
