Abstract

|
It has been shown that the common cold is the most prevalent disease in humans generally caused by rhinovirus etc. It may be interesting if we compare pediatric´s prescriptions drugs in local clinic, and find some differences to them. This research shows that antibiotic or/and antiviral drug use(s) between two pediatric´s prescriptions are quite different. There are no licensed effective antiviral drugs for the common cold. Although bacterial involvement was rare and an uncomplicated common cold did not require combination treatment with antibiotics, antiviral and antibiotic therapy prescriptions increase insurance drug prices 2.59 times. When prescribed over 2 items in same efficacy drug group to patients, it will be one of the most reason of insurance fee increment. The therapeutic periods of them was not different when we compared to symptomatic and antibiotic therapy. This analysis to the pediatric´s prescriptions drugs in local clinic provide the reference data for the basic guideline of standard prescriptions. Aspirin prescriptions as antipyretics-analgesics should be reinvestigated.
