Abstract :
Infectious diseases are a major public health
problem, which leads to a very high consumption of
antibiotics.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibiotic
prescription in a pharmacy in the city of Batna (Algeria).
Methods: This is a prospective descriptive study from
April 1, 2022 to September 2022 on the prescriptions
received at a pharmacy. Each prescription contains at least
one antibiotic.
Results: among the 8134 prescriptions included in our
study, 31.26% were prescribed by general practitioners
and the most prescribed drug was amoxicillin (23.29%).
The oral route was the most used (64.02%).
Conclusion: The prescription of antibiotics has reached
high levels in the city of Batna. We recommend measures
to optimize antibiotic therapy in Batna.
