Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Dental Surgeon's Oath
Danish term or phrase: økonomisk ordination af lægemidler
Having trouble finding a tidy translation of this phrase. It comes from the Declaration and Oath that appears on the transcripts for M.Sc. Degrees in Dental Surgery and is part of the following sentence:

"...samt under udøvelsen af sin virksomhed forpligtet sig til at udvise omhu og samvittighedsfuldhed, herunder også ved benyttelse af medhjælp, økonomisk ordination af lægemidler m.v."

prescribe generic drugs when possible


Explanation:
This is normally the best way to save money, as "brand name" drugs are not only very expensive, but often dangerous, because they are being pushed by the drug dealers, and are often simply not good. The drug companies hate generics because the patent has run out, and anyone can make them. Of course there is the option of just prescribing fewer drugs, as many people are just being over-prescribed.
