Abstract

Background: The aim of the work was a prospective study of utilization review for multiple antibiotics prescribed in the specialty department in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted for 6 months in specialty department in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Results: In the 6 months duration of the study, a total number of 96 prescriptions were analyzed. The 77 prescriptions were prescribed with Beta-lactam antibiotics. and remaining prescriptions were prescribed with 2, 3 and 4-5 different classes of antibiotics.

Conclusions: The result obtained from our study is for judgment use of antibiotics will reduce the burden of multi-drug resistance and thereby enable better patient management and limit patient morbidity and mortality.
