METHODS: A Prospective Interventional Study was conducted for about six months period (November 2018 to April 2019) at Rohini Super Speciality Hospital, Vishwas Super Speciality Hospital, Warangal. Demographic details (age, gender, height, weight, occupation), chief complaints, case sheet of patient were documented in the data collection form. The collected data had been correlated and the DRP’s were identified and intervened. RESULTS:A total of 118patients were screened for the Drug Related Problems (DRPs) in the hospital during the study period of 6 months (Nov 2018 to April 2019). The total of 167 Drug Related Problems was identified of which the most identified DRP was Drug Interactions 95 (56.88%) followed by Therapeutic Duplication 21(12.57%) and the least identified DRP was found to be alternative dosage form 1(0.59%). CONCLUSION: Ensuring patient education and correct medication techniques are key to improve disease management.
