We are confronting several difficulties such as overuse, abuse, higher expense, antibiotic resistance, and so on as a result of irrational drug use. The research was carried out in a tertiary hospital where patients were referred from nearby rural and tribal regions. The patients admitted to clinical departments were included in the retrospective analysis. A total of 200 patients were enrolled in the study, with males accounting for 41.5 percent of the total and females accounting for 58.5 percent. The majority of the patients are under the age of 30. The average number of prescriptions per patient was 4.76. The intravenous approach proved popular. In 38 percent of patients, the medicine dose was incorrect, and in 3% of cases, the frequency was incorrect. Antimicrobial agents were found to be the most regularly prescribed drug class (41.53 percent), with Ampicillin being the most usually prescribed antimicrobial agent (53.01 percent). None of the patients had their cultures and sensitivities tested. In 42 percent of cases, a single antimicrobial agent was administered, and in 38 percent of cases, a combination of two antimicrobial agents was prescribed. As a result, the drug use in the study's participants is irrational, and numerous recommendations have been made.
