dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted at Wad Medani, Gezera State, Sudan in February 2010, to determine the pattern of anti malarial drugs prescriptions and to test their conformity to the National Protocol for treatment of malaria. One hundred sixty prescriptions were collected and reviewed. The majority of prescriptions (95.6%) were written by house officers and medical officers. The most common anti-malarial drug prescribed was “Artesunate 100 mg and Sulfadoxine 500 mg, Pyrimethamine 25 mg” combination (75%) followed by Quinine injections (15.6%) Artmether injections (5.6%), Lumefantrine and Artemether combination (1.9%) and Quinine tablets (1.9%). This study revealed that although most of the prescriptions conform to the National Protocol for treatment of malaria, regarding the first line therapy of uncomplicated malaria, most prescriptions were irrational (61.2%)
