Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia due to type-1 or type-2 diabetes mellitus. This study is aimed to assess the prescription pattern in DM patients with comorbid condition, because prescription pattern could lead to worsening of disease and increased risk of complications. The specific and general aspects of diabetic patients including the available dosage forms, unexpected administering of medicines to patients, drug interactions observed and common co morbities seen in diabetic patients, all add to difficulties facing by the practitioner who treats them. Due to the above reasons the study was designed to help minimize the prescription errors, render safe dosage regimen, educating the patients by carefully monitoring the patient’s glycemic control and other responses towards therapy, finally promoting the judicial and rational use of drugs. Of the total 98 cases enrolled the comorbid conditions found were Hypertension (76), hypothyroidism (16), chronic kidney disease (15), urinary tract infections (11), coronary artery disease (10).
