Abstract

To evaluate the prescribing pattern, 450 prescriptions of private practitioners were collected and analyzed using WHO/INRUD indicators. There were average 3.78 drugs per prescriptions. Drugs were prescribed in generic name only in 7 prescriptions. About 50% drugs were prescribed from the Essential Drug List; only 18% of prescriptions were complete in respect to patient medical information. Antibiotics were prescriptions; injections were prescribed in about 13.33% of the prescriptions.
