The most commonly prescribed antihypertensive agent was adrenergic receptor alpha-2 agonists: Methyldopa, Nefidipine, Labetol. The use of combination antihypertensive pharmacotherapy suggests increased Severity of illness where optimal BP control cannot be achieved on monotherapy. The present study reveals that adrenergic receptor alpha-2 agonists (Methyldopa) were mostly prescribed single drug therapy. In the present study, two drug combinations were mostly prescribed (49.8 %) followed by three drug combinations (15.4 %). In the present study also most of the cases of PIH were treated using Methyldopa or Nifedipine. Methyldopa was the commonest prescribed antihypertensive as monotherapy as well as in combination therapy. Similarly in a study by Cvijic M et.al, Methyldopa was most commonly prescribed antihypertensive drugs in 27.8% of patients. In contrast to this, studies from Ray JG et.al19 showed that Nifedipine (47.7%) was prescribed more frequently than Methyldopa (27.7%).This shows that utilization pattern differs from hospitals, prescribers and among countries also.
