Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of paroxetine in outpatients.Methods A retrospective analysis was used to collect the prescription information of all outpatients who used paroxetine in the hospital from January 1,2020 to June 30,2023.The structural characteristics of patients and information on medication dosage,frequency,and cost were analyzed to evaluate the rationality of prescriptions.Results A total of 28,106 valid prescriptions for paroxetine were included,of which 9257 were male and 18849 were female.The use of paroxetine hydrochloride tablets decreased annually while the use of enteric-coated paroxetine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets increased annually.The annual use of paroxetine hydrochloride tablets decreased,while the annual use of enteric-coated paroxetine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets increased.The average cost of the drug per patient unit dose increased each year.Non-compliant prescriptions included off-label use,improper dosage,excessive treatment duration,and off-label use in children and adolescents.Conclusion The clinical application of paroxetine is not standardized,and there are unreasonable situations such as overuse.It is necessary to further strengthen the medication management of paroxetine in outpatient patients.
