Abstract:

Aspire of the Drug Utilization Studies (DUS) is to appraise factors related to the prescribing, dispensing, administering and taking of medication, and it’s associated. Since the middle of twentieth century, interest in DUS has been escalating, first for market-only purposes, then for appraising the quality of medical prescription and comparing patterns of use of specific drugs. The scope of DUS is to evaluate the current state and future trends of drug usage, to estimate roughly disease pervasiveness, drug expenditures, aptness of prescriptions and adherence to evidence-based recommendations.

It has been shown that pharmacy services affect prescribing patterns, have great potential for reducing health care costs, and are in a position to produce financial savings in drug therapy and drug use. However, it is essential to balance the drug utilization figures against the resulting outcome, and attention should be focused on the assessment of therapeutic results. To make therapeutic result assessment possible, end points need to be defined. Several examples of s
