CHARACTERISTICS OF USERS OF VILDAGLIPTIN DISPENSED IN PHARMACIES OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE ESTABLISHMENTS

Authors

Abstract

Introduction: the specific health guarantees regime guarantees access to treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus, including metformin, glibenclamide and/or insulin. However, based on recent studies and the national clinical practice guideline, vildagliptin is recommended as first-line treatment for patients aged 65 years and older or those intolerant to metformin. The objective was to characterize the population using vildagliptin in primary health care facilities in the Los Ríos Region, comparing it with the profile recommended by the national clinical practice guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: retrospective, observational, quantitative study. An anonymous database of the vildagliptin dispensing computer system of 359 users was reviewed and variables such as gender, age, origin, diagnosis and stage of chronic kidney disease were evaluated. In addition, the results of administrative audits were analyzed, focused on the control of patients using the drug. Results: a higher proportion of female users was observed (61.8%), 57.4% corresponded to the commune of Río Bueno, and the main age range was between 65 and 79 years (26.2%). Of the total, 231 users were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 39 of them had chronic kidney disease at some stage and 49 met the criteria recommended in the clinical practice guidelines. Conclusions: there was evidence of poor application of the recommendations of the clinical practice guidelines in the dispensing of vildagliptin; improvements should focus on the processes of prescribing and monitoring the use of the drug.
