Ayurvedic prescriptions are often challenged for their rationality. Excessive use of proprietary medicines, rasa preparations, and samshodhana without any justification and deliverable benefits outweighing the other forms of safer, cheaper and less time consuming therapies is putting the Ayurvedic prescribing trends into question. In Ayurvedic practice, prescriptions are often individualized with substantial variability between the choices of drugs. Although being welcomed as an advanced approach of prescription writing by making it tailor made, this method also allows for lapses to creep in thus making it necessary to check common trends of prescribing in Ayurveda and to see whether it raises any caution.
The objective of this study was to create a check for common trends of prescribing in Ayurveda and to see if such checks raise any caution.
Present study utilizes the WHO drug use indicators as a preliminary tool for analyzing Ayurvedic prescriptions.
It was found that with a small modification, this tool can help immensely in screening of Ayurvedic prescriptions.
Based on the results obtained through this study, it can be concluded that the WHO drug use indicators, with a small modification, can help in identifying the prescribing trends in Ayurveda and can also help in suggesting remedial measures in case certain anomalies are found.
阿育吠陀药方的合理性常受到质疑。不合理地过度使用专利药品、药味制剂和精炼法，且其带来的益处超过其他更安全、更便宜且耗时更少的治疗方式，这使得阿育吠陀的处方趋势受到质疑。在阿育吠陀实践中，药方通常是个性化的，药物选择之间存在很大差异。尽管这种方法因能做到量身定制而被视为一种先进的处方书写方式，但它也可能会出现失误，因此有必要检查阿育吠陀的常见处方趋势，并看看是否需要引起注意。
本研究的目的是检查阿育吠陀的常见处方趋势，并看看这种检查是否需要引起注意。
本研究利用世界卫生组织的药物使用指标作为分析阿育吠陀药方的初步工具。
研究发现，只需稍作修改，该工具就能极大地帮助筛选阿育吠陀药方。
根据本研究获得的结果，可以得出结论，世界卫生组织的药物使用指标稍作修改后，有助于识别阿育吠陀的处方趋势，并且在发现某些异常情况时还能帮助提出补救措施。
