Relevant data on different gynecological cases of goat were collected from the registered sheets of Upazilla Veterinary Hospital (UVH) and used for this study. Result: The highest prevalence of gynecological case was of anoestrous (20.2%) followed by abortion (18.0%), retained placenta (16.9%), pyometra (10.1%), dystocia (9.0%), repeat breeding (6.7%) and prolapse of the vagina (5.6%). The prevalence of metritis was 4.5% followed by milk fever (4.5%), prolapse of the rectum (3.4%) and postpartum bleeding (1.1%). Prostaglandin (25.0%) followed by a combination of oxytocin and calcium (18.8%) and combination of oxytetracycline and metronidazole (18.8%) were commonly prescribed drugs for treating abortion cases. Vitamin AD3E (33.3%) was prescribed the highest for treating anoestrous. A combination of oxytocin and oxytetracycline (33.3%), followed by oxytocin (26.6%) were predominantly prescribed for treating retained placenta.

Unwanted Medicines

Appropriate prescribing and deprescription of unwanted medicines are a global concern. Polypharmacy is common in old age due to multiple comorbidities. This poses many risks that can be prevented by deprescription as a measure of planned reduction in number of medicines no longer needed. For articles to be included in this narrative review, a non-systematic search of deprescription and related term was conducted at PubMed and Google Scholar database. Articles detailing deprescription in general were included whereas those about deprescription in a particular disease or of particular drug groups were excluded. The review discusses about related terms, process of deprescription, when it is to be planned, which patients need deprescription, tools available for appropriate prescription, importance of patient oriented deprescription, actual steps involved in deprescription, present scenario, future scope of trials and formulation of guidelines for deprescription, and finally current state of deprescription in India and actions needed.
