RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the status quo and the tendency of the use of antihypertensives in our hospital. METHODS: The utilization of antihypertensives during 2005～2007 in our hospital were analyzed statistically in respect of the consumption sum, DDDs and average daily cost etc. RESULTS: Over the 3 years, the consumption sum and DDDs of the antihypertensives used in our hospital increased markedly, especially those of calcium antagonists, angiotensin, ACEI and diuretic antihypertensives. The consumption of AGT Ⅱreceptor blocking agents increased year by year. CONCLUSION: The utilization structure of antihypertensives in our hospital is basically reasonable. It is of great importance to develop effective compound antihypertensive drugs with low-cost and less ADRs.
