It is a of drugs utilization, descriptive, transversal, observational, multicentric study that follows a transversal design, prescription type -indication- with the aim to determine the prevalence use of reserve antimicrobials in hospitalized patients, of all age groups, men and women in services of internal medicine. We applied two sheets of data collection: ATMR-S (for services) and ATMR-P (for patients) to obtain prevalence of reserve antimicrobials (ATMR) and the ATMR prescribed. The sheets were implemented on August 21, 2006 to 845 patients thatwerc hospitalized that day. Wereport an overall prevalence of ATMR prescribing by hospitals is 28%, with extreme values rangingfrom 18% to 38%; theprevalence of use by services is 32.3% with values ranging from 16.4% in obstetrics-gynecology, and 57.1 % in the intensive care unit. ATMR are the most prescribed according to hospital are vancomy...

The aim of this research was to determine the acceptability of generic drugs (GD) among users that belong to the sectors C, D and E in Metropolitan Lima, as well as the grade of knowledge, confidence and possible barriers in its consumption. A survey was conducted in zones where over than the 85% of the population belongs to this sectors .The tool consisted in a questionnaire of 11 open and closed questions. It was identified four dimensions that influenced on the acceptance of the generic drugs: information, security/efficacy, consumption and access. The analysis of the results obtained by the scale of Stanones set the media average of 3,2 among the four dimensions whichs means a REGULAR dimension. It was found a high consumption of GD with a media of 4,9; this accessibility is linked to the low cost instead than confidence in the GD, since there are doubts about its efficiency.
