| dc.description.abstract | The present prospective study was planned and conducted in the Department of Pharmacology and in Orthopaedics OPD of a tertiary care teaching hospital, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Dehradun during year 2003-04. The aim of the study was to analyze the prescribing pattern of NSAIDs in patients attending Orthpaedics OPD and to correlate the use of selective COX-2 inhibitors and older conventional NSAIDs in practice in the present scenario. The result of present study suggests frequent use of selective COX-2 inhibitors although conventional non-selective NSAIDs topped the list of various selective and non-selective NSAIDs. Concomitant gastroprotectives were also used. Fixed dose combinations were also prescribed. | en_US |
