Abstract

Background and Aim: Drug Prescription is an important part of pharmacotherapy; therefore, any inconsideration of Prescription principles may cause problems such as incorrect, unsuccessful or incomplete treatment and impose greater costs to patients and society in large. On the other hand, rational use and Prescription of drugs can prevent the loss of national capitals and improve living standards by promoting social health. This study aimed to investigate Prescription indicators of physicians based in South Khorasan Province in 2014 in order to determine the extent to which drugs are prescribed rationally. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, data from 1, 423, 642 drug Prescriptions written by specialists and general practitioners were collected from pharmacies and insurance companies across the province and analyzed in Rx-Analyst software per type of insurance. Prescription indicators were extracted and examined. Results: According to the 1, 423, 642 drug Prescriptions extracted in the software, average items per Prescription was 2. 89. Moreover, 33% of patients received injectable drugs, 42% received antimicrobial drugs, and 20% received corticosteroids. Also, 12% of Prescriptions had a minimum of 4 items. Corticosteroids and antibiotics were the most frequently prescribed drugs. Conclusion: The number and type of items prescribed are inappropriate given the associated global indicators. This can be a ground for various scientific and educational interventions in order to promote Prescription indicators and rationalization of drug Prescription.
