Objectives: To evaluate the trends of analgesics prescribing at outpa- tient tertiary hospital settings and examine the patterns of their utili- zation in NSAIDs, tramadol, and opioid users. Methods: This cross‐sectional study was conducted from 2010‐2016 using the prescription databases of two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia. Prescriptions for nine NSAIDs (ketoprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib, etoricoxib, ibuprofen, indomethacin, meloxicam, mefenamic acid, and naproxen), tramadol and five other opioids (morphine, fentanyl, oxyco- done, dihydrocodeine, and buprenorphine) were included in this study.
