dc.description.abstract Bangladesh has one of the highest population growth rates in the world. The country’s health system is extremely poor and underdeveloped.It has a high risk of infectiuos diseases like typhoid fever, respiratory diseases, diarrhea and hepatitis A & E. A suvey on prescribing pattern was done for a period of up to 6 months in the selected area of the Dhaka city.This paper represents a brief review on disease patttern especially in Respiratory, Cardiovascular and Alimentary tract system, which types of drugs are prescribed & irrational practice of drugs in those places.Respiratory disorders are most common disorders in Bangladesh.In common cold, Antibiotic is highly used where the percentage is 11.76%.We can use bronchodilator for Asthma which is highly usable and where the percentage is 21%. In case of pneumonia, Antibiotic is highly used where the percentage is 20%. For Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the major health problems throughout the world. Beta blocker is highly prescribed drug for cardiovascular patients where the percentage is 38.46%.In case of Alimentary tract disorder the most common disase is peptic ulcer.Here PPI is highly used where the percentage is 61.9%.The health system of Bangladesh is regulated by health professionals such as physicians, pharmacist etc.In the absence of enough qualified doctors,drugs are often prescribed by unqualified health workers. People can get any drug from any drug store without a prescription.Medically inappropriate and economically inefficient use of medicines is observed throughout the Bangladesh.The prescribing pattern of the outpatient departments of tertiary level hospital are often copied by community practitioners and health workers.Needless to say that these unqualified community practitioners and health workers tremendously influence the drug utilization pattern in the community and often contribute to misuse and over utilization of drugs.Because of the careless behave of the people of our country about following prescription variuos types of diseases and the risks of death is increasing day by day. en_US
