Abstract
The high use of antibiotics will increase its irrational use, affect the mortality rates, costs and resistance, especially in a hospital. We conducted an observational study with retrospective data to evaluate the use of antibiotics from April 2013–March 2014 using the ATC/DDD and DU90% methods. The results showed the antibiotic included DU 90% segment in the first 4 months period were cotrimoxazole tablets 480 mg (40.34 DDD per encounter) and amoxicillin tablets 500 mg (4.53 DDD per encounter), in the second period were cefixime dry syrup (0.68 DDD per encounter), amoxicillin tablets 500 mg (0.41 DDD per encounter), ciprofloxacin tablets 500 mg (0.31 DDD per encounter), doxycycline tablets 100 mg (0.26 DDD per encounter), cefixime tablets 100 mg capsules (0.15 DDD per encounter), cefadroxil tablets 500 mg capsule (0.12 DDD per encounter), ceftriaxone injection 1 g (0.08 DDD per encounter), and during the third period was cotrimoxazole tablets 480 mg (74.85 DDD per encounter). The data showed that cotrimoxazole has the highest rate of utilization per visit which is a signal for irrational use. Qualitative study is needed to describe irrational use of antibiotics in the hospital and to find the appropriate intervention model.
