Prescription writing is a science and an art, as it conveys the message from the prescriber to the dispenser. The aim of study is screening of the prescriptions written by physicians in Duhok. This study was carried out in private outpatient clinics (four medical centers) in Duhok city. A cross sectional study was carried out from October 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014. Using convenience sampling method, 516 prescriptions were collected from the selected health facilities and examined. Comparisons were made between the health facilities. The prescriber name was present on 100% of the prescriptions and the prescriber address was present on 100% of the prescriptions but only 61.63% contained the registration numbers. The name of the patient was present on 96.32% of the prescriptions, whereas the patient's age and sex were mentioned in only 46.90% and 5.43% of the prescriptions, respectively. The date of the prescription was provided on 89.73% of the prescriptions. The generic drug name was present only in 18.25% the trade name in 40.74% and commercial name in 38.69% of the prescriptions. In 4.91% of prescriptions the drug name was written in wrong spelling and in 4.25% the drug name cannot be read, while 48.06% of prescriptions contain the company advertisements. It was concluded that the majority of prescriptions in Duhok city were not ideal, the majority of doctors write incomplete prescriptions and many drugs are given to patients wrongly. Some doctors make their benefits from pharmaceutical companies superior to the patients care. Many workshops in prescription writing are required for physicians and pharmacists in Duhok.
