Abstract: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of analgesics that are frequently administered in clinical practice to treat pain and inflammation. This research was done to analyze the co- prescription of analgesics in orthopedic department of a tertiary care hospital. This hospital based prospective, observational study was carried out for 6 months. The pain score was assessed using visual analogue pain scale, and the rationality of medicines was assessed using medication adherence rating scale. The details of the patients were collected in the data collection form and results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In this study it was seen that, majority of single class of analgesic i.e., “NSAIDS” were prescribed. In this, these are majorly prescribed to females. Most frequently prescribed analgesic combination was aceclofenac + paracetamol (21.09%). In visual analogue scale, 0 to 3(mild), 4 to 7 (moderate), 8 to 10(severe), majority of the patients showed moderate pain (51.05%) before the treatment, and majority of patients showed mild pain post-treatment. This improves the quality of life of patients (52%). From total 200 patients, females are more prone to analgesics, therefore, p- value is significant to females (0.045). The pharmacoeconomic burden was analyzed; the direct cost of the RTA patients was more (Rs. 62,535), while indirect cost (Rs. 8,349) and intangible costs (Rs. 21,650). The majority of patients were taking NSAIDs. Aceclofenac + paracetamol was prescribed more as compared to other class of drugs. In our findings it was also concluded that, the rational use of the medicines was higher.
