Rationality of drug uses: its Bangladeshi perspectives.
This review article was made on the basis of different articles, government & non- government documents. Clinically inappropriate & inefficient use of medicine is a very serious problem. It is estimated that more than half off medicines are inappropriately prescribed, dispensed or sold. Lack of access to medicines and inappropriate dose result in serious morbidity & mortality. WHO provided adequate guidelines for formulation of national use of drugs by every nation. Accordingly, Bangladesh still trying to achieve the standard, even with all hindrance. Government has given emphases on price, quality, safety, efficacy & access to drugs. Some new drugs are always introducing again some drugs are withdrawing such as rofecoxib. Monitoring use of medicines, a mandated multidisciplinary activities and sufficient government funding is critical to success.
