- W2910984328 abstract "The present study aims to answer the following questions such as how does the use of corticosteroids vary with demographic factors, like age, sex, socioeconomic status and locality of residence, What are the different types of steroids prescribed, its dose and route of administration, Difference in corticosteroids used in various diseases and how does the use of corticosteroids vary with severity of disease.In this present study, the first focuses was how the use of corticosteroids vary with the demographic profiles. In the present study focused both men and women in almost equal range and observed that males are more prone to the use of corticosteroids, use was maximum elderly persons. In the study population we find out that there is a statistically significant relationship exist between age (p<0.007), gender (p<0.016), locality of residence (p<0.023) & socioeconomic status (p<0.016) with the prescribing pattern of corticosteroids.The second priority was given to the different types of steroids prescribed, its dose and route of administration. Most common route of administration was dry powder inhaler (67.2%) followed by MDI (16.8%), Nasal spray (10.4%), and Oral (5.6%) respectively. Most commonly prescribed drug was Budesonide + Formoterol (78.4%)combination whereas Budesonide(2.4%) alone was less commonly prescribed. Budesonide + Formoterol 200 mcg combination was given in 37 prescriptions and 400 mcg was given in 61 prescriptions. CONCLUSION: Drug use is a complex process. In any country a large number of socio-cultural factors contribute to the way drugs are used. Hence drug utilization research is an essential part of pharmacoepidemiology as it describes the extent, nature and determinants of drug exposure. Drug utilization evaluation can be used for the description of drug use pattern; early signals of irrational use of drugs; interventions to improve drug use; quality control cycle and for continuous quality improvement. For the individual patient, the rational use of a drug implies the prescription of a well documented drug at an optimal dose, together with the correct information, at an affordable price. Drug utilization research in itself does not necessarily provide answers, but it contributes to rational drug use in important ways." @default.
