<title>Drug Utilization Study in Ischemic Heart Diseases Associated With Diabetes and Hypertension</title>
<abstract>Aim: To evaluate drug utilization in acute coronary syndromes associated with diabetes and hypertension in Princess Esra, a tertiary hospital in Hyderabad, India. It was a retrospective study done for a period of three months during which treatment of 140 patients was studied.It was seen in this study that the incidence of polypharmacy was high. Trade names were used more frequently compared to generic names. If only generic names are used we can decrease the financial burden of the patient. The value of longterm use of clopidogrel along with aspirin was substantial, making this drug a valuable addition to the effective medication for secondary prevention of high risk patients.</abstract>
