To assess the influence of pharmacists' opinions on their dispensing medicines with a "medical prescription only" label without requiring a doctor's prescription. ⋯ Our results suggest that to increase the quality of dispensing: a) the importance of the pharmacist's duty in controlling drug consumption should be stressed; b) pharmacies' workload should be optimized; and c) perceptions of physicians' prescribing practices among pharmacists should be improved.
