A study was made on the number of oral drugs by dosage form and by specialty, drugs commonly used in specialties, frequency of prescribing and the number of drugs prescribed, comparison of the frequency, and other matters. The oral drugs were selected from prescriptions for inpatients staying in the hospital for 5 months. Five lists of date of prescription, names of specialties, names of drugs, quantity of drugs and period of administration (days) were made up by use of computers (TOSBAC-40 and TOSBAC-5400). Some significant findings were obtained in the study. But the subsequent study should be made in improved method and effective use of computers.
