The objective of the study was to analyze the drug utilization pattern of hormones mainly Estrogen and Progesterone in women. Approximately 6 million of women in reproductive age and 50 million of women in menopausal age undertake hormonal therapy. A Prospective Observational study was done with a total of 124 patients who were newly prescribed with hormones of age 18 years and above. Patients details were collected, symptoms were analyzed using MMRS questionnaire and follow- up was carried out 15 and 30 days after hormone therapy. Prescribing pattern of Estrogen and Progesterone, their dosage regimen and associated side effects were assessed and evaluated. Hormonal therapy has both benefits and risks (mainly obesity and BP variation) associated with each patient. Low medication adherence was also common among people which were assessed using MMAS. Administration of hormonal therapy can be appropriate only for suitable indications along with provision of suitable supplementation to treat the associated side effects.ddd
