During delivery, drugs being prescribed cause concerns due to their harmful effects on lactation as well as potential adverse reactions on the mother. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the drug prescribing pattern during normal delivery in a secondary care hospital in India.
This cross-sectional retrospective study included 3 months of patient's medical records.
A total of 2222 drugs, comprising 51 different types of drugs were prescribed to 313 mothers undergoing normal delivery. Most of these drugs are safe in lactation. Ten types of drugs would have been better avoided, but they possibly did not cause harm because of their limited short-term use only during the intranatal period.
This study reflects a good, safe, and rational medication practice during normal delivery for various common ailments in a secondary care hospital and can be cited as an example for similar settings.
在分娩期间,所开具的药物因其对哺乳的有害影响以及对母亲的潜在不良反应而引发关注。本回顾性研究旨在评估印度一家二级护理医院正常分娩期间的药物处方模式。
这项横断面回顾性研究纳入了3个月的患者病历。
共为313名正常分娩的母亲开具了2222种药物,包括51种不同类型的药物。这些药物中的大多数在哺乳期是安全的。有10种药物最好避免使用,但由于它们仅在产时短期使用且用量有限,可能并未造成危害。
本研究反映了一家二级护理医院在正常分娩期间针对各种常见疾病的良好、安全且合理的用药实践,可作为类似情况的范例。
