This study aimed to evaluate the prescribing patterns of corticosteroids for various skin disorders.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the collaboration of the department of pharmacology and the dermatology department of a tertiary care teaching hospital, reviewing 277 cases. Data were collected regarding demographics, medical history, and medications prescribed. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to summarize the findings in terms of frequency and percentage.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The most common indications for corticosteroid use included dermatitis and psoriasis. Prednisolone and betamethasone were the most frequently prescribed medications. Among the treatment routes, the majority of therapies were administered topically. No adverse reactions were reported.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Given the extensive range of corticosteroids and dosage forms available for treating dermatological conditions, rational therapy should prioritize the appropriate selection of drugs based on factors, such as potency, effectiveness, and cost.<\/jats:p>\n
