The majority of developing nations have implemented antibacterial policies to address the grave issue of drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to prospectively identify the compliance with the antibiotic policy in various hospital treatment departments and potential causes of non-compliance. The aim was to examine how often restricted antibiotics are used in each inpatient department and to ensure that the Hospital's antibiotic policy is followed. The study involved a prospective examination of hospital patient files. The most recent hospital admissions' clinical notes and prescription records were examined for antibiotic prescribing. Patients were watched until release while hospital computer reports on culture and sensitivity were secured. Observations were made and meticulously recorded. Out of 150 prescriptions included in the study, 84 (56%) patients were male and 66 (44%) patients were female; the most prevalent diseases for which restricted antibiotics are used were 4 (11.70%), UTI 3 (8.12%), and SEPSIS 27 (79.41%). The limited antibiotic that is most usually prescribed is piperacillin-tazobactam (46.7%). C/S testing was done on 93 (62% of the patients). Klebsiella 14 (25%) was the most often seen organism, followed by E. coli 10 (17.8%) and staphylococcus aureus 6 (10.71%). In 105 cases (or 70%), hospital policy was followed. 22/150 (14.66%) prescriptions had an ADR. There was low adherence to hospital antibiotic policy. Physicians’ antibiotic prescribing practises should be optimized. Adherence to and update of the policy is recommended.
