Objective  To investigate drug usage and costs of inpatients with asthma in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 and to provide baseline for evidence-based pharmacy study of single disease in respiratory system. Methods  The information of drug use and expenditure of asthma inpatients were collected from the hospital information system (HIS). We analyzed the data including frequency, proportion and cumulative proportion by Excel 2007 software. Results  A total of 150 asthma inpatients were included, the average age was 56.25±18.83 years old. Three kinds of the most commonly used drugs were corticosteroids, antibiotics and antiasthmatic drugs. Budesonide suspension for inhalation, moxifloxacin needle, doxofylline needle accounted for 32.84%, 31.11% and 45.31% in these three categories of drugs, respectively. Conclusion  The mainly drugs for treatment of asthma inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 are corticosteroids, antibiotics and antiasthmatic drugs. The frequency of systemic corticosteroids is too high, and the frequency of antimicrobial use is irrational, which needs further specification.
