Abstract Background: Upper and lower respiratory tract infections are the two categories into which respiratory tract infections fall. Tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, some influenza strains, and the common cold are examples of upper respiratory tract infections. Objective: To study the drug use pattern given to patients admitted with respiratory tract infections in hospital. Cases were collected from MRD and to assess the rationality of these prescriptions given in our hospital. Methodology: A retrospective observational study was conducted for three months from December 2023 to February 2024 in Navodaya medical college, hospital & research centre with a sample size of 100. Data were collected from MRD. Result: Among the 100 cases collected, most of the respiratory tract infected patients where in the age group of (15-30) years. Most common types of diagnosis in patients were found to be LRTI (36%) infections. Total number of antibiotics that were prescribed where 80 and the most common antibiotic that was prescribed is amoxicillin clavulanic acid. Conclusion: In this study the prescribing patterns for the management of URTIs in the hospital were inconsistent with current guidelines. Quality use of antibiotics can help prevent the emergence of AMR; At the investigation site the prescribers are not having any standard anti-infection endorsing rules for RTIs nor are they following any standard rules accessible.
Keywords Prescribing pattern, respiratory tract infection, prescribing indicators, antibiotics.
