Abstract

Objective: To investigate pattern of GC use in outpatients treating at Gia Dinh People’s Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross - sectional study was conducted on patients 18 years of age or older, visiting outpatient clinics of Gia Dinh People’s Hospital in December 2021. Results: Of 3920 patients, the median age was 57 (44 – 66) and most of them were female (52,5%). Major indications of GCs were for ear, nose and throat disorders (38,7%). Methylprednisolone was the most commonly prescribed GC (53,2%). Most GCs were orally administered (64,4%). There were 63 drug-drug interactions; most of them need closely monitoring. Conclusions: It is important to assess and indicate GCs in accordance with the patient's medical conditions and treatment guidelines to reduce the risk of drug interactions and adverse events caused by GCs.
