Abstract

Background: Drug interaction is a common problem in clinical practice and is an important factor affecting the effectiveness of treatment. Some drug interactions provide significant benefits but in many cases cause side effects. Objectives: To evaluate the status of drug interactions and related factors in inpatient treatment at Ca Mau Hospital of Traditional Medicine in 2022. Materials and method: A cross-sectional description of 420 medical records inpatient treatment at Ca Mau Hospital of Traditional Medicine from September 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Selecting a random sample from the system. Results: The drug interaction rate of inpatient medical records was 45.5%. Doctors without post-graduate training prescribed drug interactions with a rate of 41.4%; specialization 1 and master was 30.5%; second major and doctorate was 9.1%. Drug interactions occurred at all ages with the rate of 37-62%. The rate of patients taking more than 7 drugs in a prescription had drug interactions was 53.8%. Patients with sequelae of cerebrovascular accident, renal failure, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disease had a higher rate of drug interactions compared with no disease, respectively 3.9 times, 6.26 times, 2 ,8 times, 10.8 times. Conclusion: The rate of drug interactions in prescribing treatment in inpatients is quite high. The majority of drug interactions are moderately adverse. The rate of prescription drug interactions is highly dependent on the treating physician. Greater attention should be paid to synchronous, continuous, and effective interventions to limit the prescribing of adverse drug interactions.
