Prescription pattern monitoring studies (PPMS) are a tool for assessing the prescribing, dispensing and distribution of medicines. Prescription pattern monitoring studies (PPMS) are drug utilization studies with the main focus on prescribing, dispensing and administering of drugs. They promote appropriate use of monitored drugs and reduction of abuse or misuse of monitored drugs.In order to improve theprescriptionquality and rationalprescription patternpromotion, there is an unavoidable need to investigate the factors that affect doctors'prescription patterns. Antibiotics are most commonly used drugs and are used as both prophylactically and to treat an ongoing infection .Irrational use of antibiotics can lead to poly-pharmacy; and over use and miss-use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance.As antibiotics are most commonly prescribed drugs and report of misuse is not uncommon so proper strategy like educational intervention and antibiotic policy are necessary to control this.Downloads
