ABSTRACT
A combination therapy is a therapeutic intervention in which more than
one therapy is administered to the patient. Examples of combination
therapy include treatment regimens that involves administering several
separate pills, each containing a particular drug, or single pills that
contain several drugs. The aim of this work is to spread the
information about the present situation of combination drug therapy
and in future what medicinal development we can do with combination
therapy. For this work we have visited several hospital such as Anwar
khan modern, Square and Samorita hospital in Bangladesh and
collected prescription from several department. We have analyzed the
prescribe medicine and saw that most of the doctor using 70% single
medicine but for some disease such as hypertension, diabetics, cancer, tuberculosis, antidepression,
a little bit in heart disease they used combination drug therapy was 20% and this
medicines were more effective than single drug therapy. In future for better medical treatment
we have to expand the use of combination drug therapy. In some disease such as ear related
disorder, anti-fungal, heart disease there is a little bit using of combination therapy whereas
this therapy is more effective than single drug therapy. So combination drug therapy is very
essential.
