Background The Swiss Society of General Internal Medicine (SGAIM) has chosen the topic "Recognising drug interactions and preventing side effects" as a quality indicator in the primary care setting. Methodology Retrospectively, in a group practice of 6 general practitioners (GPs), all patients aged 65 and over who were prescribed ≥ 5 long-term medications were identified in the year 2022. These medications were systematically checked for interaction reports using the Compendium® software.
