Objective: To explore the problem analysis and countermeasures of irrational drug use in western medicine prescriptions. Methods According to the method of random drawing, 1000 western medicine prescriptions from different departments in our hospital were selected, the problems of irrational drug use were analyzed, and corresponding countermeasures were put forward. The launch period is from January 2020 to June 2021. Results Among the 1000 western medicine prescriptions randomly drawn in our hospital from January 2020 to June 2021, there were 56 irrational prescriptions, accounting for 5.60% of the total selected western medicine prescriptions, and the proportion of irrational prescriptions was similar. There is no significant difference in the proportion of irrational prescriptions such as repeated medication, irrational drug selection, and irrational drug dosage (P>0.05). In pediatrics, gynecology, surgery, and internal medicine, the incidence of irrational drug use does not exist. Significant difference (P<0.05); among the 1,000 Western medicine prescriptions randomly drawn in our hospital, 67 patients had adverse reactions, of which adverse reactions occurred in the digestive system (37.31%) and the skin and mucous membranes (32.84%). The proportion is higher. Conclusion There are problems of irrational drug use in clinical Chinese and Western medicine prescriptions in terms of drug use, drug selection, and drug dosage. Clinical should actively propose targeted improvement measures according to the actual situation, so as to reduce the incidence of irrational drug use in Western medicine prescriptions.
