Duplicate Prescription Rates of Long-Acting Bronchodilator Inhalers.
Background: Long-acting bronchodilator inhalers are widely used with or without inhaled corticosteroids (ICs) by patients with lung diseases. In Israel alone, there are 21 inhalers containing long-acting β2 agonists (LABAs) and/or long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs). Some patients are treated incorrectly with several inhalers of the same pharmacologic group. Methods: Electronic data of LABA and/or LAMA inhalers purchased during a period of 1 year were extracted in one district of Clalit Health Services in Israel. Patients who were treated with two or more inhalers from the same pharmacologic group were compared with patients without duplicate treatment. Inhaler purchases during the 12 months before and after the first duplicate purchase were compared with the purchases by patients without duplication of treatment. New diagnoses were compared to identify possible side effects. Results: Of the 13,528 patients who were treated with LABA and/or LAMA inhalers, 244 (1.8%) purchased at least two different inhalers from the same pharmacologic group. Inhaler purchases were 3.8 times higher in the duplication group during the 12 months before the first duplication. Inhaler purchase increased by 28% in the duplication group compared with a 4.5% increase in the nonduplication group (p < 0.001) during the following year. The risk for duplicated consumption was significantly higher in patients with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis, males, and persons aged between 61 and 80 years. Conclusions: Nearly 2% of the patients treated with long-acting bronchodilators consumed different medications of the same pharmacologic group even when adherence was satisfactory. COPD patients are at higher risk for inhaler duplication. Clinical Trial Registration Number: 0151-20-COM1.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery is the only peer-reviewed journal delivering innovative, authoritative coverage of the health effects of inhaled aerosols and delivery of drugs through the pulmonary system. The Journal is a forum for leading experts, addressing novel topics such as aerosolized chemotherapy, aerosolized vaccines, methods to determine toxicities, and delivery of aerosolized drugs in the intubated patient.
Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery coverage includes:
Pulmonary drug delivery
Airway reactivity and asthma treatment
Inhalation of particles and gases in the respiratory tract
Toxic effects of inhaled agents
Aerosols as tools for studying basic physiologic phenomena.
