ABSTRACT
Objectives: To assess the prescribing pattern of the drugs in Asthma patients and to evaluate the medication adherence by using MARS questionnaires upon counselling in tertiary care hospital.
Methods: It is a prospective cross-sectional study, which is carried out in the pulmonology department of The Oxford Medical college hospital and research center with 80 Patients With Asthma. Consent was taken, and information was collected through a data entry form and patient casefile between May 2022 and October 2022. The prescription pattern was analysed using The global initiative for asthma (GINA) guidelines and medication adherence was analysed using Medication adherence rating scale (MARS) and a follow up was conducted after 2 weeks.
Result: A total of 80 patients were evaluated for this study. 62.5% of the patients were male and 37.5% were female. 70% of the prescriptions were in accordance with GINA guidelines and the medication adherence of the patients pre and post-counselling and the response revealed that the mean adherence score pre-counselling was found to be 4.712 and post-counselling score rose to 7.15.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that 70% of the prescription were in accordance to the GINA guidelines and the medication was found to be improved post counselling.
