Abstract Background: Periodic evaluation of drug utilization pattern is necessary to promote rational drug use by. In orthopaedics practice, the prescribing pattern needs to be regularly monitored since many of the drugs prescribed carry untoward adverse effects.

Percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name was 29.7%. Percentage of encounter with an Antibiotic prescribed was 60.23% i.e. out of 100 prescriptions antibiotics were prescribed in 60. Percentage of encounter with an Injection prescribed was 60% which means out of 100 prescriptions, injectables were
prescribed in 60. Percentage of drugs prescribed from National Essential Medicine List was 52.63%. Percentage of drugs prescribed from WHO model List was 32.46%. Diclofenac (14.25%) was most commonly prescribed drug. Incidence of polypharmacy was quite high in context of Analgesics. Almost 19% of prescriptions had 3 drugs.
