Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of antibiotics in our hospital. METHODS: All the prescriptions in Jan., Apr., July and Oct. in 2006 in dispensary for western medicine were reviewed, from which, 6 605 (17.26%) antibiotic prescriptions were selected. The categories and kinds of antibiotics were investigated; meanwhile the administration and dosage, course of treatment and drug combination were analyzed based on diagnosis and patient's age. RESULTS: The antibiotics used in 6 605 prescriptions totaled 7 categories. 87.80% used antibacterial drugs accorded with diagnose; 56.46% of the antibacterial drugs were administered orally; in terms of dosage and administration, more than 95% were up to the standard; the course of treatment in 86.99% ranged from 3 to 7 days; 91.04% of the antibacterial drugs used in single kind, about 8.80% in two kinds, and only 0.17% in three kinds concomitantly.
