Abstract:
To find out the patterns and trend of clinical use of antihypertensive agents to provide a guidance for rational use of drugs, the antihypertensive drugs used in our hospital during 1995-1999 period was investigated in respect to the sum of consumption cost, drugs used and DDDs. Our results showed that the DDDs and the consumption cost for antihypertensive drugs have increased gradually for recent 5 years. The order of DDDs of drugs was as follows: calcium antagonists, adrenergic blocking drugs, ACE inhibitors, the drugs affecting sympathetic transmitters and peripheral vasodilators. The order of sum of money was as follows: ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists and calcium antagonists respectively. It is concluded that a diverse array of anthhypertensive agents were available and widely used clinically and attention should be paid to the rational use of the drugs.
