No Clinical Knowledge No Confidence in Clinical Practice
Before a drug is going to be prescribed to a patient a doctor should know the details of that drug dosage, its usage, its side effects, adverse effect in a particular age and gender including transgender. Then only will doctors get the confidence to prescribe and fulfill the patients need. So without proper pharmacological knowledge and the patient's history and the expected complication with hormone replacement therapy we may not give a excellent health care. So guidelines are important along with regular updates to get confidence in clinical practice.
