Pattern of systemic antibiotic use and potential drug interactions: Evaluations through a point prevalence study in Ankara University Hospitals.

Conclusions A dramatic variance existed amongst antibiotics prescribed by different departments. This indicated indicated the requirement for a centralized role of an infectious diseases specialist. Especially for the hospitalized patient, prophylactic coverage with at least one antibiotic brought about a number of drug interactions. A precise evaluation by a clinical pharmacist -currently none on duty- of orders in terms of drug interactions will reduce possible drug-related hazards.
