Info sheets may curb unnecessary antibiotics for colds and sore throats
NCT ID NCT07383350
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving patients an information sheet during a doctor's visit for a respiratory infection (like bronchitis, sinusitis, or sore throat) can lower antibiotic prescribing and improve communication. About 1,100 adults in Danish general practices will either receive the sheet or usual care. The goal is to see if a simple tool can help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
