A self-designed proforma (prescribing indicator form) was used for collecting data including patient demographics, diagnosis, and the current medications prescribed for each patient.
Results: Of the 300 selected participants, 221(73.7%) were male, while 79 (26.3%) were female.
Majority of the subjects in the age group of 60–69 (52%) and 70–79 years (27%) followed by those aged >79 (21%).
Antibiotics were prescribed to 17.2% and vitamins to 14.7%.
Patients’ responses related to nonadherence factor were 92.7% for the cost, 32.7% for the long treatment duration, and 24% for the lack of knowledge.
