Niharika Raghavapuram, Talasila Narmada

We tried to analyse the stewardship interventions in a tertiary care hospital, optimize the antibiotic utility to combact the antibiotic resistance. Clinical pharmacists are trained and engaged in the stewardship management, they have an extensive role in optimizing the rationale use of antibiotics, combact the antibiotic resistance, implement interventions, prevent adverse drug events and improve the patient quality by decreasing the hospital costs and length of stay. As a result, rapid stewardship interventions by clinical pharmacist had significant outcomes.
