Abstract

Background: Accidents related to prescribed medications are one of the causes of patient harm, but these are preventable errors. A general assessment of the drug prescribing situation will help agencies recognize existing problems, thereby taking measures to improve the effectiveness of drug use.

Materials and methods: Cross-sectional description of 420 outpatient prescriptions in 2022. Results: The achievement of writing information about the patient's name, prediction, and doctor's information all reached 100%, the detailed patient's address only reached 31.7%. Information about drugs: 1% of drug names were written incorrectly, 0.5% of prescriptions were written without a route of administration. Prescription indicators: the average number of drugs in the prescription was 3.29 ± 1.6; the proportion of drugs prescribed by international generic name was 94.8%. The proportion of antibiotic, injection, vitamin-mineral prescriptions was 22.1; 2.6 and 39.3%. The proportion of drugs on the list of essential drugs was 16.8%.
