Abstract | Drug therapy is crucial to promoting human health by increasing quality of life and extending lifespan. A method to assess and improve drug use is by conducting Drug Utilization Study. Drug utilization, in terms of DDD, aids in converting the available volume of medications into medically relevant units, allowing estimations of the number of people exposed to a certain medicine or class of medicines. A prospective observation study was carried out to assess the consumption of bronchodilators among in-patients. Theophylline was the most utilized bronchodilator with 469.54 DDD/100bed-days. Total consumption of bronchodilators 872.91 DDD/100bed-days. Methylxanthines like Theophylline and Etofylline tablets were over-utilized with PDD:DDD ratio of 4.35 and 3.26 respectively. |
