Drug utilization studies are a useful strategy to improve the quality of prescribing as well as to achieve rationalization of drug use. This paper presents the results obtained in a study on the use of anti-infectives in the inpatient wards of the H.C.FF.AA., which used the system of dispensing drugs by Unit Dose during the period May - July 2000. The technical unit of measurement used was the number of defined daily doses/100 beds/day, defining 12 groups of anti-infectives and grouping the wards into 8 different specialties. The total consumption of anti-infectives was 51.49 DDD/100 beds/day, the groups with the highest consumption being cephalosporins, penicillins and quinolones. In relation to the beds attended, the highest consumption was in the Infectious Diseases, Surgery and Traumatology wards.
