Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for standardizing off -label drug use for sleep disorders in hospitals . METHODS The off -label drug use for sleep disorders in our hospital was analyzed statistically ,and then was evaluated with evidence -based medical evidence . The records that met the filing standards for off -label drug use should be filed ,and the drug review rules should be modified in the pre -prescribing review system . The blocking rules in the pre -prescribing review system were set up for unreasonable off -label drug use . RESULTS Off-label drug use for sleep disorders in our hospital accounted for 36.92% of total number of prescriptions ,including drug use of off -indication,over-frequency,over-dose. After the pharmacists modified the drug review rules ,the rational off -label drug use system would be automatically reviewed and approved ,and the unreasonable off -label drug use system would be intercepted . CONCLUSIONS There is a certain rationality in off -label drug use for sleep disorders . The pharmacists can further standardize off -label drug use for sleep disorders by continuously improving the standardized management of off-label drug use and revising the drug review rules of pre -prescribing review system ,so as to ensure the safe ,reasonable and effective use of drugs related to sleep disorders .
