Abstract: Objective To assess the current status and trend of the use of antihypertensive drugs in community hospitals in Beijing.Methods The current status and percentages of different antihypertensive drugs commonly used in the clinic were investigated among community hypertensive patients by questionnaires.Results Seven hundred and nine hypertensive patients who were treated with antihypertensive drugs have been enrolled. Both compound formulations and calcium channel blockers were the most commonly used antihypertensive drugs with a utilization rate of 52.9% and 41.7%, respectively. The utilization rates of diuretic and compound formulae in patients who paid for themselves were higher than those in the patients covered by medical insurance, while the utilization rates of calcium channel blockers and ACEI in the former were lower than those in patients who had public health medical services free and medical insurance. Beijing getting on for years, the utilization rate of more expensive antihypertensive drugs reduced gradually.Conclusion The selection of antihypertensive drugs is not only dependent on the therapeutic effect, but also should on the individual difference and economic status of the patients.
