Overview

Analysis of antibiotic prescription patterns and public awareness on antimicrobial resistance indicates urgent need for regulatory efforts.

Key Points

  • Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to public health, particularly in India, due to widespread misuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
  • 84% of patients lacked knowledge about their prescribed antibiotics, highlighting a major gap in public awareness.
  • 41.2% of patients were prescribed at least one broad-spectrum antibiotic, contributing to ineffective infection treatments.
  • The study calls for the implementation of regulatory policies and awareness campaigns regarding the misuse of antibiotics.
