ABSTRACT

Background: Anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiency diseases observed globally affecting both developed and developing countries with major consequences to human health as well as socio economic development. Anemia is the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Drug use (DU) in pregnant women should be viewed as a public health problem, since there is lack in knowledge and the consequences for both the fetus and the mother in knowledge of the consequences for both the mother and the fetus. Methods: We analyzed 120 patients who are using iron supplements for anemia in pregnancy in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Santiram medical college and general hospital, Nandyal from June 2019 to November 2019. Results: Among 120 patients, according to age wise distribution 23 -27 age people are more prone for anemia during pregnancy which are about 33.3%. As part of therapy elemental iron with vitamin C combinations (79 prescriptions) were mostly prescribed followed by blood transfusion (12 prescriptions). The patients are suggested to include iron rich foods & vitamin C rich foods in their diet. Conclusion: This study clearly showed that prescribing pattern of drugs, Tab Dutafer-XT and Tab. Limcee were the most prescribed combination. To address the issue of anemia, the patient awareness should be enhanced.
