Abstract
The study was made on prescribed doses of 317 drug products for oral use which appeared frequently in 6, 594 inpatient prescriptions filled at the University of Tokyo Hospital in 28 days purposively selected from a period of 4 months from March to June 1976. The prescribed doses were compared with usual doses stated in the Pharmacopoeia of Japan and package inserts. The drug products prescribed within usual dose range composed 19.6% of the total products used, the drugs within and above usual dose range 24.3%, within and below 30.5%, within and above and below 20.2%, and out of usual dose range 5.4%.
