Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Asthma is a common disease, affecting more than 300 million individuals all over the world and is a serious health and socioeconomic issue. Asthma is defined as the chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. It leads to airway hyper responsiveness, obstruction, hyper production of mucus and remodeling of airway walls. Bronchial asthma is a recurrent but reversible obstruction of the airways. Over the last 25 years, the increase in asthma prevalence is due to the changes in our environmental or lifestyle modification. AIM To assess the prescribing pattern and medication adherence in asthmatic patients and evaluate quality of life. OBJECTIVES • To assess the prescribing pattern in asthmatic patients. • To investigate the medication adherence in asthmatic patient. • To evaluate the quality of life of selected population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Prospective Study was carried out. All the patients fulfill the inclusion criteria will be selected for the study. Proforma was used to record the demographic details of the patients.This study was conducted in 126 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria.This study was done to analyze the prescription pattern, medication adherence and their quality of life. Patient counselling will be given to the subjects. Their medication adherence and quality of life will be assessed using suitable questionnaires both before and after counselling (follow up done after 2 weeks) and essential details will be documented. RESULT During the study 126 asthma patients were included for the study who satisfied the inclusion criteria. The prescription was analyzed and found that the mostly prescribed drugs were Leukotriene Antagonists, Corticosteroids, Methyl Xanthines and Beta-Agonists. The mostly given therapy was anti- asthmatic drug combinations rather than monotherapy. The most preferred route of administration was inhalational and rest via oral route. 90.4% of the study population were literate. The occurrence of asthma is more in females than in males. In the study we have seen a significant improvement in medication adherence and quality of life in patients after receiving proper counselling. CONCLUSION It was concluded that the mostly prescribed anti-asthmatic drug is leukotriene antagonists and the patients diagnosed with asthma mostly received inhalational therapy than oral therapy. There is significant improvement in medication adherence and QOL after proper counselling given to the subjects.
