摘要

目的：在瑞典，双氯芬酸口服制剂在2020年成为处方药，2023年非处方（OTC）外用制剂被放在柜台后面。本研究调查了这些政策变化对配售双氯芬酸的影响。方法：对2019年1月至2024年2月双氯芬酸处方配药或OTC销售的汇总数据进行描述性分析。主要发现：口服制剂成为处方后，数量大幅下降。将局部配方放在柜台后面的效果更为温和。结论：政策变化对双氯芬酸在瑞典的配售量产生了重大影响，尤其是处方要求。

The impact of policy changes on the sales of the environmentally harmful drug diclofenac in Sweden.

Objectives: In Sweden, oral formulations of diclofenac became prescription-only in 2020, and over the counter (OTC) topical forms were placed behind the counter in 2023. This study investigated the effect of these policy changes on diclofenac dispensed or sold.

Methods: Aggregated data on diclofenac dispensed against prescription or sold OTC from January 2019 to February 2024 were analysed descriptively.

Key findings: The volume fell substantially after oral formulations became prescription-only. Placement of topical formulations behind the counter had a more modest effect.

Conclusions: Policy changes have had a significant effect on the volume of diclofenac dispensed or sold in Sweden, especially the prescription requirement.
