Abstract

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of drug price reduction on the use of antimicrobial drugs for patients with tumor in our hospital.METHODS:The consumption sum,DDDs,and DDC of antimicrobial drugs during 8 times of drug price reduction from 2005 to 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:In respect of the consumption sum,the proportion of antimicrobial drugs accounted for 9.47%～7.27% of the total,which dropped year by year.However,the total DDC of the antimicrobial drugs increased year by year.The changes of DDDs and the DDC of all kinds of the antimicrobial drugs showed a varied tendency.CONCLUSION:The price reduction for the antimicrobial drugs is helpful for the rational use of the antimicrobial drugs.
