Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of oral hypoglycemic drugs in our hospital in order to provide an reference for rational use of drugs in clinic. METHODS: DDDs, sales volume, and daily expenses of drugs in our hospital from 2001to 2003 were analyzed with the method of DDD analysis. RESULTS: The varieties, quantities and sales volumes of oral hypoglycemic drugs increased year by year. The top 3 hypoglycemic drugs in respect of DDDs were dimethylbigmide, gliclazide, and glipizide. The top 3 hypoglycemic drugs in respect of sales volume were glipizide, acarbose, and dimethylbimide. The ratio of sales volume sequencing to that of DDDs was between 0.2～4. CONCLUSIONS: Gliclazide and dimethylbimide are most widely used and their prices are reasonable; Acarbose is expensive, and its sales volume has not grown in pace with DDDs.
