ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hypertension is
a chronic progressive disease demonstrates by the elevation of mean pulmonary
arterial pressure (mPAP) it leads to morbidity and pre-mature mortality. The
objective of the study to calculate the current methods of prescribing patterns,
adverse drug reactions and medication adherence of those subjects. A
prospective observational study was conducted a period of 6 months in a
cardiology department, SVIMS. A total number of 30 subjects were involved in
this study. According to patient information (patient’s data, drug therapy and
investigations) were used to elevate the other necessary data. The result of
the data were calculated in Microsoft excel sheet. ADR’s of drugs and
medication adherence among the subjects were analysed. In our study 30 subjects
were enrolled majority were males (57%) with average age of 37.5 years. There
exists a significant relationship between the habits (smoking and alcoholism)
and development of the disease. The therapy was given depending upon the type of
PAH and condition of the patient. Males were more predominant than females.
Adults were more prone to PAH. IPAH is the most common type. The number of
drugs can be prescribed in an each prescription was three and among them one
drug (sildenafil) was prescribed for pulmonary hypertension and others were
used as supportive therapy. Most of the subjects have medium medication
adherence.
