Abstract:
A Retrospective observational study was conducted on 150 stroke patients who were taking antihypertensives in a 650-bedded tertiary care multidisciplinary teaching hospital in Bangalore for a period of 6 months to evaluate the prescription pattern of antihypertensive agent in patient with acute stroke and to know which antihypertensive is normally prescribed A self-designed data collection form was used to record the patient specific information. A total of 150 patients who met our inclusion criteria were enrolled into the study, out of which 72% patients were male and remaining 28 were female. The most commonly prescribed antihypertensive were amlodipine 30.66% which belong to CCBs followed by ARBs among which telmisartan 40mg (26.66%). The investigation led us to the conclusion that monotherapy rather than combination therapy is more commonly employed.
