Abstract

FERNANDEZ DUHARTE, Jesús et al. Evaluation of drug prescription in Gastroenterology outpatient departments. MEDISAN [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.8, pp.1058-1063. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of pharmacoepidemiological type of 426 patients assisted in the Gastroenterology Department from "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital and in "Ramón López Peña" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from May, 2011 to same month of 2012, who consumed drugs prescribed by doctors (or they self-medicated), with the aim of evaluating these prescriptions. In the series, the most prescribed pharmacological group was that of antacids, with a higher consumption of Alusil® and Silogel®, and among the inadequate prescriptions the medicamentous associations for cimetidina and metoclopramida, as well as the incorrect individualization when prescribing Alusil® prevailed; likewise, polymedication was the most related factor with inadequate prescription

Keywords : drugs prescription; pharmacological groups; antacids; gastroenterology department.
