Irrational drug use and its associated factors at Debre Markos Referral Hospital’s outpatient pharmacy in East Gojjam Northwest Ethiopia

摘要

Half of all drugs are used irrationally around the world, and about half of patients take their medications correctly. Inappropriate use of drugs leads to antibiotic resistance, medication therapy problems, and an increase in drug costs. This study aimed to assess irrational drug use and its associated factors at the outpatient pharmacy of Debre Markos Referral Hospital.
