ABSTRACT
Objective To study the application of outpatient oral antihypertensive drugs in Shanghai Meishan Hospital, and provide a guide for clinical rational drug use.Methods The utilization of antihypertensive drugs in outpatients of our hos-pital was analyzed statistically by using defined daily dose (DDD) recommended by WHO.Results ① The most commonly used antihypertensive drugs in outpatients was calcium antagonist (51.98% ), followed by angiotensin receptor blockers (16.60% ),fixed-dose combination (13.23% ),β-blockers (11.93% ),diuretics (3.67% ),angiotensin-converting enzyme in-hibitors (2.40% ),and α,β-blockers (0.19% ). ② The combination therapy was fewer in outpatients than monotherapy (32.99% versus 67.01% ).Conclusion The application of antihypertensive drugs is basically reasonable in outpatient of our hospital,but the combination therapy was inadequate.
