  • Previous studies may not fully capture current drug usage patterns in this specialized field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey and analyze drug prescribing trends.
  • To evaluate the rationality and scientific basis of drug usage in a chest disease unit.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted on 70 admitted patients and 210 outpatients.
  • Data collection focused on treatments at the chest disease unit of Nehru Hospital.

Main Results:

  • Drug usage was observed to be highly rational.
