Introduction.
Irrational medicine use is a global problem, and one of its manifestation is inappropriate prescribing that occurs when medicines are not prescribed in accordance with the guideline.
Objective.
The aim of the study was to assess prescription completeness and drug use pattern of the hospital using the WHO core drug use indicators.
Methods.
1000 prescriptions were collected retrospectively from prescriptions written for 1 year from outpatient pharmacies of the hospital.
Exit interview was employed to assess patient care indicators.
The health facility indicators were checked by assessing the presence of drug formulary and availability of key medicines at the facility.
Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.
Results.
It was found that only name of the patients was filled in all the prescriptions.
Other informations were below the standard.
The average number of drugs per prescription was 1.65.
Percentages of encounter by generic name, with antibiotic and injections, were 85.78%, 41%, and 25%, respectively.
The percentage of drugs prescribed from an essential drug list was 98.48%.
The mean consultation time and dispensing time were 14.49 and 2.16 minutes, respectively.
More than half patients had knowledge on drug dispensed to them (68%).
The percentage of drugs actually dispensed was 65%, but none of the drugs dispensed were adequately labelled.
A copy of EDL and 84% of the key drugs were available in the hospital.
Conclusion.
From the results of our study, it can be concluded that all prescriptions were not complete, and except the average number of drugs prescribed per encounter, the other drug use pattern indicators were out of the WHO recommendation.
Therefore, effective intervention program, like training, for promotion of rational drug use practice was recommended.
