: Myocardial infraction (MI) is also known as heart attack and it occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart and coursing damage to the heart muscle. A prospective observational study was conducted among 80 patients to evaluate drug utilization pattern and risk factor associated with myocardial infraction. The study involved 80 patients to evaluate the drug utilization pattern and associated risk factors among the inpatients of myocardial infraction. In this study patients have a history of alcohol consumption 12 (15%), smoking 15(18.75%), smoking and alcohol consumption 36 (45%) and no history of smoking and alcohol consumption 17 (21.25%). Anti-platelets (25.80%) have been prescribed, followed by Anti-coagulants, dyslipidemics, Anti-hypertensive (4.91%) Anti-anginals, Diuretics, proton-pump inhibitor, antibiotic, and miscellaneous drugs (13.67%). The present study revealed that myocardial infarction was more prevalent in males in the age group of 41-60 years. Drug utilization pattern studies could be used as regular upgradation studies to improve management strategy of myocardial infraction.
