Out of 2482 patients with indications for ANTIBIOTIC therapy, 51.9%, 18.1 % and 6.5 % of patients were received incorrect ANTIBIOTIC regiment, inadequate dose and unsuitable duration of therapy, respectively. The highest rate of unnecessary, inappropriate, incorrect duration and dosage of ANTIBIOTICs were observed in internal, scorpion wards and the lowest was in infectious diseases and obstetrics wards (P<0.05).Conclusion: The pattern of ANTIBIOTIC usage in Razi teaching hospital in Ahvaz was inappropriate.
