    Abstract

    The treatment of both pain and inflammation is primarily through the use of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs. The present study was conducted to assess prescription pattern of anti-inflammatory drugs. Materials & Methods: Parameters such as type of NSAIDs, all dispensed doses and the number of NSAIDs ordered per prescription, and the route of administration for each patient were recorded. Results: Commonly prescribed NSAIDs were Piroxicam in 10%, Acetyl salicylic acid in 12%, Mefenamic acid in 8%, Diclofenac in 40%, Ibuprofen in 25%, Indomethacin in 2% and Tolmetin in 3%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). NSAIDs were prescribed by Paediatrics in 12%, Dentistry in 8% cases, General surgery in 22%, General Medicine in 20%, Orthopaedics in 20% cases and Gynaecology in 15%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Diclofenac was the most commonly prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from the national list of essential medicine. General surgery, General Medicine and Orthopaedics departments were prescribing the most.
