Abstract

Background: Drug use in pregnant women has many potential risks due to lack of research data and can lead to drug-related problems (DRPs). Therefore, determining DRPs in prescribing for pregnant women is necessary to optimize treatment. Objectives: To identify characteristics of outpatient drug prescriptions and determine frequencies and types of DRPs in outpatient prescriptions. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the prescriptions of pregnancy outpatients at a Gynecology Obstetrics Hospital from May 2023 to January 2024. DRPs were determined by comparing prescriptions with reference sources. DRPs are classified according to Decision 3547/QD-BYT on the issuance of drug use analysis forms. Results: There were 333 prescriptions included in the study, aged 29.42 ± 5.539. The group of age 25-29 accounts for the highest rate (33.3%). The first trimester of pregnancy accounts for the highest rate (47.5%). The rate of prescriptions with at least 1 DRP was 17.4%. The average DRP was 0.2 DRPs/prescription. The most common DRP type was inappropriate timing of administration (6.9%), too low dose (5.7%), inappropriate route of administration (3%), other problems with drug selection (1.8%), no indications (1.8%), dosing instructions not available clearly consistent (0.9%), too high dose (0.3%). Conclusion: The prevalence of DRPs was quite low, which showed that the prescribing process for pregnant women was highly valued and careful.
