Pharmacological Management of Acute and Chronic Insomnia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Objective: Insomnia is a frequent and difficult disease to treat. The objective was to determine the pharmacological management of a group of patients diagnosed with acute and chronic insomnia.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that identified patterns of prescription of drugs for outpatient use in patients with insomnia from a population database of 8.5 million individuals in the Health System of Colombia. Sociodemographic and pharmacological variables were considered.
Results: A total of 5825 patients with insomnia were identified. Acute insomnia was the most frequent complaint (85.2%). A total of 76.9% received pharmacological treatment, mainly through off-label drugs (70.7%), such as trazodone (20.2%), quetiapine (12.3%), and clonazepam (11.1%). The approved drugs were used in 9.9% of the patients, especially eszopiclone (4.7%) and zopiclone (3.6%). Benzodiazepines and Z compounds predominated in the elderly and individuals with chronic insomnia.
Conclusions: The pharmacological treatment of insomnia in this group of patients is heterogeneous, and medications not approved for this indication are very frequently used.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
