Background : To evaluate the prescribing patterns of antibiotics for URTI cases in Accident and Emergency Department' of Hospital Seberang Jaya.
Objectives : To explore the pattern and describe the antibiotics prescribing in patients with UR TI.
Method : Data extracted from prescriptions of Out-Patient Pharmacy Department of Hospital Seberang Jaya from October 2007- January 2008. We randomly selected about 410 prescriptions from the total of all prescriptions within 4 months.
Result : Antibiotic was prescribed in 46.34% of patients diagnosed with URTI out of 410 encounters.
Conclusion : Antibiotics prescribing rate in URTI is high. The prescribers need to re-examine their own prescribing in UR TI and decide whether it is consistent with current guidelines.
