Sažetak
Objective: To analyze outpatient utilization of antibiotics in Zagreb during a 3 year period using ATC/DDD methodology by WHO. Method: Data on outpatient drug utilization were obtained from Zagreb Municipal Pharmacy and extrapolated to total number of city pharmacies. These data were used to calculate the number of DDD and DDD per 1000 inhabitants per day (DDD/TID). Results: From 2001 to 2003, the utilization of systemic antibacterials (J01) decreased by 18.18% (from 55 to 45.01 DDD/TID) ; in all three years, the highest consumption was recorded for penicillins (J01C), which accounted for a half of total antibiotic utilization, showing a decline by 17.83%. Cephalosporines (J01D) ranked second in all three years, showing a decline by 33.46%. Macrolides (J01F) ranked third ; their consumption decreased by 17, 86% ; quinolones (J01M) ranked fourth and showed a 7.22% increase. In all three study years, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic followed by amoxicillin. Cefuroxime ranked third in 2002 and 2003, whereas in 2001 ceftibuten ranked third. Doxycycline ranked fourth, and azithromycin fifth. Conclusion: Utilization of antibiotics in Zagreb is uneconomical, mostly due to the high use of amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, which has no rational ground in professional guidelines.
