What's inside the PDF

The document is professionally formatted with a colour-coded layout, cover page, table of contents, and 10 complete OPD cases. Here's a summary of what was included:
#CaseDiagnosisKey Drugs
1Viral URTICommon ColdParacetamol, Cetirizine, Saline drops
2Diabetes MellitusT2DM – NewMetformin, Aspirin, Atorvastatin
3HypertensionStage 1 HTNAmlodipine, Lifestyle advice
4Acute GastroenteritisRotavirus (child)ORS, Zinc, Ondansetron, Probiotics
5Bronchial AsthmaMild Persistent (GINA Step 2)Salbutamol, Budesonide, Montelukast
6Urinary Tract InfectionUncomplicated CystitisNitrofurantoin, Phenazopyridine
7Iron Deficiency AnaemiaMenorrhagia + dietaryFerrous sulphate, Vitamin C, Tranexamic acid
8Peptic Ulcer / H. pyloriDuodenal UlcerPPI + Clarithromycin + Amoxicillin (triple therapy)
9HypothyroidismHashimoto'sLevothyroxine, Calcium+Vit D
10Bacterial TonsillitisGroup A StrepPenicillin V, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen

Each case contains:

  • Patient demographics and vitals
  • Presenting complaint + history + examination
  • Formatted prescription table (Drug, Dose, Frequency, Duration)
  • Clinical reasoning for every drug - mechanism of action, why this drug was chosen, why alternatives were avoided
  • Antibiotic stewardship notes where applicable
  • Follow-up plan
The last page has a Quick Reference Drug Class Table covering all 16 drug classes used across the cases.

Write about 25+ opd pt cases with their prescriptions for practice and education purposes also give reasons why are we prescribing it and make it in a pdf form
