Monitoring of general practice antibiotic prescribing is important to allow concordance with prescribing guidelines to be assessed. Antibiotics have dramatically changed the prognoses of patients with severe infectious diseases over the past 50 years. However, the emergence and dissemination of resistant organisms has endangered the effectiveness of antibiotics. One possible approach to the resistance problem is the appropriate use of antibiotic drugs for preventing and treating infections. This study describes how the volume and appropriateness of antibiotic use in hospitals vary among different hospitals of Lakki Marwat, Bannu and D.I. Khan. Changing hospital antibiotic use is a challenge of formidable complexity. On each level, many determinants play a part, so that the measures or strategies undertaken to improve antibiotic use need to be equally diverse. Although various strategies for improving antibiotic use are available, a programme with activities at all three levels is needed for hospitals. The result of our study shows significant result showing multiple use of antibiotics along with multi drug therapy that will definitely leads to the resistance of antibiotics in patients. Our study also tells us about the use of those antibiotics that should be given in last stages are prescribing to the mild ill patients that will leads to ineffectiveness of the antibiotics. Some patients are given the antibiotics that do not need antibiotics at all. We can conclude from our study that antimicrobial resistance can recognize trends in resistance patterns and novel resistances. Pharmacist should pay an active role at all levels especially in hospitals to improve the standard of life, to stop the malpractice of drugs specially antibiotics, to avoid the drug and food complex formed with antibiotics and to prevent the patient from resistant to the antibiotics.
