Abstract

An integrated ABC/VEN analysis of drug prescriptions in pharmacotherapeutic schemes for the relief of alcoholic dependence was performed. A retrospective analysis of seventy-five anonymized case histories of patients who sought medical help with drunken forms of alcoholic dependence was processed. The scheme of basic pharmacotherapy of relief of drunken forms of alcoholic dependence, developed by associate professor Yurii Chuiev for carrying out interdisciplinary study was used. Substantiated that the introduction of the developed innovative treatment algorithm, with the use of laser therapy, infusion therapy, anticonvulsants and hepatoprotectors allowed to create an effective treatment complex to alleviate this drug pathology. Pharmacoeconomic research was based on organizational and legal, clinical and pharmacological standards. Dosage forms of drugs according to medicinal purposes have been established in pharmacotherapeutic regimens for the relief of drunken forms of alcoholic dependence (tablets occupy 23.1% of appointments, solutions – 76.9%). The results of ABC analysis were given. Category A included seven INNs of drugs, the share of which was 81.13% of the total cost of pharmacotherapy of alcoholic dependence. Category B included four INNs of drugs with a cost share of 15.07%. In the category of C – two INNs of drugs with a share of costs of 4.80% for pharmacotherapy of relief of drunken states of alcoholic dependence. Overall, 85% of the studied drugs were included in pharmacotherapy as Vital, 15% as Essential. The results of the study can be used in conducting of budget tenders for the purchase of drugs, the rational use of drugs, the inclusion of drugs in regional and local forms for pharmacotherapy for the relief of drunken forms of drugs in healthcare facilities.
