Abstract :

The study is conducted and concerned with monitoring of haematincs and blood transfusion therapy prescribing patterns in order to to analyze the prescribing patterns of drugs used for anemia treatment, to assess blood transfusion therapy for anemic patients. The study included 63 patients, out of these patients, 31 patients was found under age category between 18 – 40 years of age (49.2%), while 18 patients were above 60 years of age (28.6%) and last 14 patients under age category between 41- 60 years of age (22.2%).
Anemic Patients who treated with blood transfusion therapy are 50 patients, whom are the majority of the study (79.36%), while remaining 13 patients were treated with hematincs oral or IV supplements (20.64%). The prescribed hematinic to anemic patients were fully insignificance, because most of these patients were readmitted for blood transfusion therapy which was the majority of the cases were treated with. The anemic patients should be given a chart of nutrition and food that containing iron, Folate and Vitamin B12 to increase the hemoglobin level alongside with the prescribed hematinics.
