Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in hospitals. Because of an overall rise in health care costs, lack of uniformity in drug prescribing and the emergence of antibiotic resistance, monitoring and control of antibiotic use are of growing concern and strict antibiotic policies should be warranted. Before such policies can be implemented, detailed knowledge of antibiotic prescribing practice is important. The reemerging interest in prescribing decision support reflects the recent change in emphasis from support for diagnostic decisions towards support for patient management and from systems targeting a broad range of clinical diagnoses to task-specific and condition-specific decision aids. According to the study, antibiotics of cephalosporin group are the most popular today. Among all the available dosage forms, injections seem to be the most widely used form for antibiotics in the hospitals. The outcome of this study says that, the potent and broad-spectrum antibiotics are most frequently used in Dhaka City.

It is developing a novel, cost effective WDT manufacturing process using conventional tablet technology for the production of robust tablets suitable for conventional packaging. Approximately one-third of the population, primarily the geriatric and pediatric populations, has swallowing difficulties, resulting in poor compliance with oral tablet drug therapy which leads to reduced overall therapy effectiveness. On the other hand, Suspension as a dosage form is associated with issues such as microbial growth, sedimentation and non-uniformity of dose, high cost of manufacturing, difficult to carry etc. A new tablet dosage format, the water dispersible tablet has been developed which offers the combined advantages of ease of dosing and convenience of dosing. These tablets are designed to disperse or disintegrate rapidly in the water within 3 minutes.To fulfill these medical needs, formulators have devoted considerable effort to developing a novel type of tablet dosage form for oral administration, one that disintegrates and disperse rapidly in water.
