Objectives: The objectives of the study were as follows: (1) To study the prescription patterns in Respiratory tract infections (RTI) in indoor patients in pediatric wards. (2) To check the rationality of treatment according to Modified Kunin’s rationality criteria. (3)To analyze the data of RTI by Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification.Methods: It was a non-interventional, prospective, observational study which was conducted in indoor pediatric patients in a tertiary care teaching hospital in India. Data were analyzed and evaluated according to the WHO rational use of drugs guidelines.Study sample: The study sample was 174.Study duration: The study duration was August 15, 2016–September 15, 2016.Results: Males (63.79%) were more as compared to females (36.20%), and the highest number of cases was seen in infants (62.06%). Acute bronchiolitis (54.02%) was highest in the incidence followed by Wheeze Associated Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (WALRI) (30.45%). The average duration of patient stay in hospital was 4.71 days whereas 93.33% were polytherapy and mostly prescribed antibiotic was amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in acute bronchiolitis and WALRI. Salbutamol (40.84%) and Ipratropium Bromide (39.43%) were the commonly prescribed respiratory medicines. Oral route (42.27%) was the most common route of administration. 56.11% drugs were prescribed by generic name.Conclusion: Standard treatment guidelines for the treatment of RTI need to be urgently developed and strictly implemented.
