It is imperative to have adequate knowledge about medicines being used for their proper administration so as to obtain desirable therapeutics effects. This study aims to assess the medicine prescribing pattern and patients' knowledge about medicine use at different level of health care settings in Nepal.
A cross sectional study was conducted in randomly selected 88 health facilities in Nepal. Altogether 2200 patients, taken randomly after the doctor visit, were interviewed and assessed for the prescription.
Out of total drugs prescribed from 88 health facilities (6,175), 68.91% were essential drugs, 23.74 % were antibiotics and 61 % of medicines were prescribed in generic names. And among patients receiving medicines, adequate response on medicine use was received on 49% of medicines out of 3,806 medicines dispensed.
Greater percentages of medicines were prescribed from essential drug list in health facilities. Knowledge on medicine use was poor among people.

在尼泊尔随机选择的 88 个卫生机构中进行了一项横断面研究。总共随机采访了 2200 名就诊后的患者，并对处方进行了评估。
在 88 个卫生机构（6175 种）开出的所有药物中，68.91%是基本药物，23.74%是抗生素，61%的药物以通用名开出。在接受药物治疗的患者中，在 3806 种分发的药物中，有 49%的药物对药物使用有足够的反应。
卫生机构中更多的药物是从基本药物清单中开出的。人们对药物使用的知识很差。
