| description | Background: Inappropriate or irrational use of analgesics not only
leads to increased morbidity and mortality rates and deterioration in quality of life, but can also
give rise to misuse of health care resources and increase health care costs.
Objectives: To evaluate the trends of analgesics prescribing at outpa- tient tertiary hospital
settings and examine the patterns of their utili- zation in NSAIDs, tramadol, and opioid users.
Methods: This cross‐sectional study was conducted from 2010‐2016 using the prescription databases
of two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia. Prescriptions for nine NSAIDs (ketoprofen, diclofenac,
celecoxib, etoricoxib, ibuprofen, indomethacin, meloxicam, mefenamic acid, and naproxen), tramadol
and five other opioids (morphine, fentanyl, oxyco- done, dihydrocodeine, and buprenorphine) were
included in this study. |
