Abstract

Dengue is a prevailing infectious disease in India currently associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is a viral disease without any specific treatment or specific drug availability. Some reports show that carica papaya leaves extract are said to improve the platelet count among dengue patients: but to support this, the prescription pattern and its common usage among the registered medical practitioners are not available.
Objectives: This study is to evaluate the pharmaco epidemiology of the use of caripill among the registered medical practitioners in an urban population, Chennai. By knowing this, the popularity of the drug and its usage in the market can be evaluated.

Keywords: Caripill, Dengue, Pharmacoepidemiology.
