This article discusses a study conducted in a tertiary health-care center in Northern Kerala, India, to evaluate the prescribing pattern of antibiotics and the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among inpatients. The study found that most patients were in the age group of 51-60, with a higher percentage of males. The most commonly prescribed antibiotic was Cefoperazone-Sulbactem combination, and 6% of patients developed ADRs, including hypersensitivity, gastrointestinal upset, and headaches. The study concluded that hospital doctors prescribed antibiotics logically, with fewer newer drugs and no banned ones, but ADRs were comparatively higher than previous studies. The article suggests the implementation of educational programs to promote rational antibiotic use and the development of antibiotic guidelines for the hospital. [Extracted from the article] |
