Abstract:Objective To investigate the current situation and trend of Butyphthalide use in 7 cities of China (Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chengdu and Zhengzhou) and preliminarily evaluate the rationality of its use. Methods Statistical analysis was carried out on the sales amount, defined daily doses and Defined daily dose consumption of Butyphthalide in 78 hospitals of 7 cities from 2013 to 2017. Results In the 5 years, the proportion of male and female patients using Butyphthalide was about 2∶1 in the 7 cities, and their age was mainly between 71-90 years old (41%). The top three primary diagnoses were cerebral infarction (15.5%), cerebrovascular disease (2.4%) and cerebral infarction (1.7%). Drug utilization index (DUI): Beijing > Tianjin > Chengdu > Hangzhou > Shanghai > Guangzhou > Zhengzhou. Defined daily doses (DDDs): Beijing > Hangzhou > Guangzhou > Shanghai > Chengdu > Zhengzhou. Defined daily dose consumption (DDDc): Zhengzhou > Shanghai > Guangzhou > Beijing > Tianjin > Hangzhou. Conclusion Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shanghai are the biggest cities in consuming Butyphthalide. In Zhengzhou, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the price level is the highest and the economic burden is the heaviest. The doctors in Zhengzhou area were too cautious, or the dose was too small, and did not reach the therapeutic effect. The drugs are in accordance with the recommended Chinese guidelines and the most reasonable prescriptions of dosage are in order: Beijing > Tianjin > Chengdu > Hangzhou, and these 4 cities are in good condition.
