Little is known about the extent of non-evidence-based proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescriptions in the general practice setting in Switzerland. A recommendation for long-term therapy was included in the "Top 5 list" of "smarter medicine" for the outpatient internal medicine in 2014. The observational study recorded the proportion of patients without evidence-based indication for PPI in a practice with six general practitioners retrospectively over three months. Of 2225 patients analysed, 11.1 % (n = 248) took a PPI. The percentage of patients without a clear evidence-based indication was 46.8 %. Almost every second patient did not have a clear evidence-based indication for PPI. The results could be an incentive for general practitioners to reconsider the indication when prescribing PPI, also in the sense of "smarter medicine".
