Abstract

Irrational prescribing is seen everywhere (developing and developed countries), at all levels (senior consultants and junior students) and in all categories (specialists, superspecialists). As drug treatment is the essence of therapeutics, it become extremely important to audit prescriptions. Wrong prescriptions can be fatal. With consumer protection act (CPA) in force, you need to be careful when writing prescriptions. The students will be given the prescription and they will evaluate prescriptions and suggest improvements.
