We investigated the prescription quality and prescribing trends of private clinicians in Nablus governorate, Palestine. A total of 363 prescriptions were collected from a random sample of 36 community pharmacies over a study period of 288 working hours. Data regarding elements in the prescription and the types of drugs prescribed were analysed. Physician-related variables were mostly noted, however, patient's address and weight were absent in all prescriptions and less than half included age and sex. Information regarding strength of the medications prescribed was missing in over 70% of prescriptions. Other drug-related variables like frequency and instruction of use were present in over 80% of prescriptions. Antimicrobial agents were the most commonly prescribed followed by NSAIDs/analgesics. Amoxicillin alone or in combination was the most commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents followed by cefuroxime. Prescription writing quality in Nablus is deficient in certain aspects and improvement is required.
我们调查了巴勒斯坦纳布卢斯省私人临床医生的处方质量和开方趋势。在 288 个工作小时的研究期间，从随机抽取的 36 家社区药店中收集了 363 张处方。分析了处方中药物的元素和所开药物的类型。记录了与医生相关的变量，但所有处方都没有患者的地址和体重，而且不到一半的处方包括年龄和性别。超过 70%的处方中没有药物的强度信息。其他与药物相关的变量，如用药频率和使用说明，在超过 80%的处方中都有。抗生素是最常开的药物，其次是非甾体抗炎药/镇痛药。阿莫西林单独或联合使用是最常开的抗生素，其次是头孢呋辛。纳布卢斯的处方书写质量在某些方面存在不足，需要改进。
