Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A prescription-based survey was considered one of the most effective methods to assess and evaluate the prescribing attitude of physicians and dispensing practice of pharmacists. A compendious study on The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC7) in Apollo hospitals, Secunderabad, India was carried out on hypertension that help to improve prescribing practice of the physicians and ultimately, the clinical standards. A continuous supervision is therefore required through such kinds of systematic audit that provide feedback from the physician and help to promote rational use of drugs. A total of 60 prescriptions were received during the study period (3 months) from february 2013 to april 2013. The present study observed that hypertension was more prevalent in males than in females. Mono therapy is more used in males at rate of 68.33% and combination therapy was more used in females at the rate of 18.33%. An ideal combination must include anti-hypertensives drugs possessing complementary modes of action that provide a synergistic anti- hypertensive effect without any significant adverse effects, at low doses. Furthermore, the anti-hypertensive drug combination therapy should be able to minimise or counteract the reflex compensatory mechanisms that often limit the fall in blood pressure.
