Factors affecting drug administration to 500 consecutive patients in a gynaecological ward have been investigated. Females undergoing surgery received more drugs per patient than non-operated subjects. The numbers of concurrent diseases, the ages of the patients and the lengtht of stay in hospital were associated with increased administration of drugs. The majority of drugs in regular use were administered for infections, whereas analgesics, laxatives and tranquillizers were most often given for occasional use. The majority of patients received several drugs simultaneously. The results have demonstrated that concurrent administration of many drugs is an essential part of the hospital care of patients, rendered necessary by the genuine requirements of treatment.
