Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
They are many problems which are caused by healthcare system. This study was conducted to know and determine the rational use of antibiotics;drugs were analyzed for appropriateness in dosage, duration of therapy and drug combinations.The mostly used antibiotics in RMMCH are compared in the four departments which are medicine, surgery,obstetrics and gynecology (OBG) and pediatrics in both outpatient department (OPD) and inpatient.Prescriptions from were collected over a period of 6 months.Prescriptions containing antimicrobial drugs were analyzed for appropriateness in dosage, duration of therapy, and drug combinations. As compared to the all the departments the more number of antibiotics are used in surgery of about 64.39% as compared to the other departments and about 10% were irrational. And the total number of irrational prescriptions are about 33%. The doctors should be aware of prescribing the antibiotics and to reduce the irrational use of antibiotics and they should keep them in a control from prescribing irrational fixed dose drug combinations.
