Objectives: To analyze the rationality status of prescriptions and drug utilization pattern in indoor patients of pediatrics department. Method: The present observational prospective study was undertaken in pediatrics indoor patient department for a period of six months during which data of 100 patients was collected.

Data was also analyzed for drug utilization pattern using WHO- prescribing indicators. Result: Data of total 100 patients was analyzed, of which 69 were male and 31 were female. Rationality scores of 100 prescriptions were in range of 30 to 19, with mean rationality score of 28.4%. Of 100 prescriptions, 91 were rational and 9 were semi-rational.
