ANTIBIOTIC POLICY.pptx
1.
2. Rational Use of Antibiotics
The conference of experts on the rational use of drugs, by the WHO in 1985
defined that
āRational use of drugs requires that patients
receive medications appropriately to their
clinical needs, in doses that meet their own
individual requirements for an adequate period
of time, at the lowest cost to them and their
communityā
3. Reasons
for
Patient Concerns
ā¢ Need to return to work
Physician Concerns
ā¢ Patient expects
antibiotic
ā¢ Time pressure
Antibiotic Prescription
Antibiotic
Overuse
4. What is inappropriate use ?
Unnecessary prescription of antibiotics, such as
for viral infections or for prolonged prophylaxis
Using broad-spectrum antibiotics when narrow-
spectrum antibiotics are effective
Prescribing too low or too high dose
Continuing treatment for longer than necessary
5. What is inappropriate use ?
Not prescribing according to microbiology results
Omitting or delaying administration of doses
Prescribing intravenous therapy when oral
therapy is known to be effective and clinically safe
Not taking antibiotics as prescribed
9. Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a major
public health problem all over the world
Infections by resistant microbes ļ treatment failļ āmorbidity ļ
āmortality.
Treatment failure ļ longer infectivity, āinfected people in community.
exposes general population to risk of resistant strains
Resistant to first-line antimicrobials, ļ high cost of the second-line drugs
ļ treatment failure
Most alarming caused by multidrug-resistant microbes, which are virtually
non-treatable and thereby create a āpost-antibiotic eraā scenario
13. Impact of resistance
Untreatable infections
Excess length of
stay
Increased morbidity/
mortality
Increased costs
Interference with
patientās normal flora.
Selection of drug resistant
organisms
Increased side
effects
14. Settings that favor
antimicrobial resistance
Immune compromised patients
e.g.
ā ICU
ā Oncology unit
ā Dialysis unit
ā Rehabilitation unit
ā Transplantation unit
ā Burn unit

Objectives of Antibiotic Policy
23. Cumulative antibiogram
ā¢ Analyses of data regularly, at least annually.
ā¢ Inclusion of diagnostic isolates.
ā¢ It is useful to stratify results by specimens type or infection
site, by nursing unit or site of care, by organismās resistance
characteristics, by clinical service or patient population.
ā¢ Comparing the cumulative antibiogram with national data.
ā¢ Should be based on local antibiograms.
ā¢ Should be syndrome/diseased based.
ā¢ Should specify type of clinical setting ā Outpatient
clinics, Inpatient units, ICU setting.
24. Direction of antibiotic policy
ā¢ Withdrawn agents
Frame the hospital own list of therapeutic antibiotic
categories:
ā¢ First-line
ā¢ Restrictedagents
ā¢ Reservedagents
forexample,firstchoiceantibioticscanbe prescribedbyall doctors
while restricted choice antibiotics can only be prescribed after
consulting the head of the department or the antimicrobial team
(AMT) representative.
Reserve antibiotics, are prescribed only by designated experts.
25. Interventions
ā¢ Prohibiting the sale of antibiotics without
medical prescription.
ā¢ Development of regulations by Ministries of
Health regarding responsible prescription of
antibiotics.
ā¢ Prohibition of advertising of antibiotics in the
community by industry and pharmaceutical
representatives.
26. Community pharmacist
ā¢ Pharmacist should be able to prescribe certain
antibiotics in appropriate circumstances to
patients needing treatment for particular
conditions
ā¢ Advice to patients to ensure that the patient
understands that:
ā Antibiotic must be used properly
ā Help and encourage Health Authorities.
ā Ensure the implementation of the policies

28. Empiric Therapy
Where delay in initiating therapy to await
microbiological results would be life threatening or risk
serious morbidity, antimicrobial therapy based on a
clinically defined infection is justified.
Where empiric therapy is used, the accuracy of
diagnosis should be reviewed regularly and treatment
altered/stopped when microbiological results become
available.
29. ā¢ Policy should be reviewed by experts

ā¢ Policy is not static. It is a living
document. It should be reviewed at
periodic intervals, updated according
to current medical knowledge, clinical
practice and local circumstances.
