Authors
Abstract:
ABSTRACT Inappropriate antibutic prescription cause both microbic resistance and imposition of heavy and useless expenditure on patient and remedy-drug system. To analyse prescription indexes regarding antibutics in Qazvin physicians' prescriptions, this descriptive study was conducted on 2100 regular, randomly sampled prescriptions of general physicians, specialists and dentists. These documents were obtained by referring to Medical Document Registry of Drug Service Organization in 1998. The findings indicated that 43/2% of prescriptions contained antibutics; 51/8% in General physicians' 32/2% in specialists' and 93% in dentists' presciptions. ENT spesialists had the most antibutic prescription (62/5%), afterward places pediatrics (58/6%). The most common used prescriptive antibutic was Amoxiciline (23/3%), and also we noted that 30/7% of total antibutics were injective. Excessive and illogical drug prescription, especially antibutics, which might have serious consequences, could originate from weak teaching prescription writing. Emphasise on correct teaching of practical pharmacology can solve this problem.
