Climacteric complaints, side-effects, reason for discontinuation, bleeding patterns, lipid profile at baseline and 12 months of treatment were documented.
This happens because the density of prescriptions is very high immediately after the acute event and then declines towards intermittent or cyclical patterns of drug intake, or to definitive treatment discontinuation (figure 1).
Discontinuation and switching patterns and the time course of the policy intervention's effects were determined.
This study assessed medication discontinuation and switching patterns among Medicare beneficiaries who were new users of bisphosphonates and evaluated factors possibly associated with discontinuation.
Accordingly, we conducted a study to describe discontinuation and switching patterns of anti-osteoporosis medications in the national US Medicare population, to evaluate factors associated with discontinuation using a variety of definitions, and to identify factors precipitating discontinuation of all anti-osteoporosis therapy.
Evaluation of AEs at the time of treatment discontinuation demonstrated no pattern of events to indicate a withdrawal syndrome.
Dosing patterns and discontinuation rates were analysed.
However, there have not been any reports regarding adherence to, discontinuation of, and usage patterns of migraine abortive medications in Asian countries.
Using administrative claims data from a major Swiss health insurer, we sought to estimate the all-cause and disease-specific costs of anti-TNF-treated patients, the costs incurred in different sectors of care (e.g. ambulatory care, medications, devices and aids), and the dosing patterns and discontinuation rates for TNF inhibitors.
Developing strategies to reduce early discontinuation requires characterizing its patterns and their link to symptom persistence.
