ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial agents are among the most commonly prescribed drugs and account for 20% of the hospital pharmacy budget. The present study was designed to observe and compare the prophylactic use of antibiotics (amoxicillin+clavulanic acid vs ceftriaxone) in neurosurgery ward of a tertiary care hospital with assessment of resistance rate in neurosurgery to antimicrobials. Total no of 250 patients were included in the study, in this study inclusion of 232 patients  were receiving amoxicillin+clavulanic acid or Ceftriaxone for prophylaxis in neurosugery. The following parameters were included- reduction of fever, reduction of exudates, depression or disappearance of pathogenic bacteria, overall clinical improvement, complications and length of hospitalization stay. Test of significance of two real ratios was applied and the value of Z indicated (Z=36) which is highly significant hence two ratios are not equal. It implied that ceftriaxone was better than amoxicillin+clavulanic acid. Present study conclude that the resistance rate of penicillins is higher than ceftriaxone in neurosurgery ward. Data  also shows that ceftriaxone is the better choice of treatment and it reduces the hospitalization stay of patients and lead to less burden on patient.
