Abstract：Objective: To analyze the utilization of oral antihypertensive drugs in hospitalized patients of the department of internal medicine in our hospital, and provide references for rational drug use in clinic. Methods: The consumption sum, medication frequency (DDDs) and DDC of oral antihypertensive drugs in the department of internal medicine of our hospital during 1 April, 2016 to 1 April, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed by using Excel software. Results: The top three kinds of oral hypertensive drugs ranked by consumption sum and DDDs were Ca2+channel blockers (CCB), ARB (angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonist) and adrenergic receptor blockers. The ratio of consumption sum and DDDs of these kinds of drugs were 85.27% and 78.43% respectively. The diuretic and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) were ranked behind. Among all the oral antihypertensive drugs ranked by consumption sum and DDDs, the top 1 drug was amlodipine besylate tablets. Conclusion: In our hospital, utilization of oral antihypertensive drugs in the department of internal medicine was relatively reasonable, which was basically in line with the international medication guidelines.
