Aim: The aim of this study is to characterize the trends of metronidazole prescribing in outpatientsetting in Alkharj.Methodology: This is a retrospective study includes evaluating outpatient antibiotic prescriptionsfrom 01-01-2018 till 31-12-2018 in a public hospital Alkharj. The data were collected and analyzedusing excel software and the descriptive data were represented by frequencies and percentages.Results: The majority of the metronidazole prescriptions were regular and only few prescriptionswere urgent. The physicians who prescribed metronidazole were mainly residents who don’t havesufficient experience that may results in more inappropriate antibiotic prescribing patterns.Conclusion: The excessive use of metronidazole in addition to its prescribing by resident mayresults in inappropriate prescribing pattern that may lead to increase the adverse effect which maylead to increase the rate of bacterial resistance. More efforts are needed, especially by applyingantimicrobial stewardship program, to ensure that metronidazole is prescribed correctly.
