Background: Hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases leading to high mortality and morbidity. In order to prevent complications and to improve the patient survival, the early and efficient management of essential hypertension is very much needed. In this context, the use of established anti-hypertensives assumes paramount importance. Objective was to study the prescribing pattern of anti-hypertensive drugs in a tertiary care teaching hospital in north India.Methods: It was a cross-sectional observational study involving 205 prescriptions for patients suffering from primary essential hypertension in the Medicine Outpatient Department of Acharaya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Sidhra, Jammu, J and K. All hypertensive patients irrespective of age and sex visiting OPD and treated with at least one hypertensive drugs were included in the study. Data was obtained from the patients by scrutinizing the out patients regarding the demographic profile and details pertaining to the prescribing pattern of antihypertensive drugs used for the treatment of hypertension.Results: A total of 205 prescriptions were analysed during the study period. Out of which 131 (63.9%) were males and 74 (36.1%) were females. Maximum numbers of patients were in the age group of 50-59 years 60 (29.3%) patients. 145 (70.7%) of the patients had a family history of hypertension, (61.5%) of the patients were in stage-I hypertension and (56.1%) were of normal BMI. The results revealed that, the maximum number of 86 (41.9%) patients underwent dual therapy in 86 (41.9%) followed by monotherapy in 59 (28.7%) of patients.Conclusions: From the present study, it can be concluded that in hypertension calcium channel blockers are the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs alone and diuretics are the most commonly used class of drugs in combination. However, further studies are necessary to set up a rationale or pattern for the choice of medication; taking into consideration the demographic factors involved in the prevalence of hypertension.

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.

ABSTRACT Pharmaceutical procurement is a complex process that involves many steps, agencies, and manufacturers. Procurement lead time is defined as the time required to acquire the supplies and services and then placing them in the hands of the user. This study was done to study the lead time in drugs procurement at Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh. It was aimed at calculating the average lead time in the procurement of drugs for year 2009—2010 in Pharmacy Department. Observational study along with retrospective record analysis was done to calculate the average internal and external lead time. Standardized format was used to retrieve data from the procurement records. Average lead time between the preparation of indent and receipt of drugs was observed to be 162 days, out of which 117 days (71%) accounted for internal lead time and external lead time was 47 days (29%). Internal lead time was approximately four times that of external lead time. Various reasons were noted for longer duration of internal lead time and every effort should be made to bring it down to the minimum, so as to ensure the availability of the right medicine in the right quantity, in the right time at the right place.
