Abstract:

Prescription audit is one of the important tools to assess drug utilisation and rationality of prescription which can facilitate improvement in the quality of health care provided. Irrational prescribing is a global problem and in developing country like India, inappropriate use of drugs can lead to ill-effects on health and health-care expenditure. To promote rational drug use, standard policies on use of drugs must be set and this can be done only when the current prescription practices are audited. This cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of three months (June 2017 to Aug 20

Abstract:

Background: Prescription audit is one of the methods to assess the drug utilization pattern and rational use of drugs. In our country the value of drugs prescribed is in crores but a significant proportion of drugs is prescribed irrationally. This is probably due to defect in prescription pattern, lack of knowledge in health care personnel, pressure from drug manufacturing companies and many more. To promote rational use of drugs, standard policies must be set and this can be achieved only after auditing current prescription practices.Methods: A prospective study was carried out in Medical col

Background: The prescription audit is a useful method to assess the doctors’ contribution to the rational use of drugs in a country.

Introduction: Rational use of Drugs is the prescription and dispensation of drugs to the appropriate patients in appropriate doses, for required period and at lowest cost to them and their community. Irrational use refers to inappropriate use of drugs which include prescription and dispensation of too many drugs (polypharmacy), unnecessary and overuse of antibiotics and use of injection where oral drug suffices. A step towards preventing irrational drug use is to document it in a study such as this, so that appropriate corrective steps can be taken. Methods: This was a cross sectional cohort a
