    Abstract

    Background and Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA), which mostly affects lower extremity joints like the knee and hip and significantly impairs elderly people, is a key contributor to chronic pain. The primary goals of OA treatment are to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often used to treat symptoms despite their negative side effects. The need for safe and effective alternative medicines that could offer OA patients benefits for both symptomatic alleviation and disease-modifying outcomes remains, nevertheless. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prescription patterns and their rationality in OA patients.
