ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the usage situation and the trend of traditional Chinese medicine injection for activating blood circulation in our hospital. Methods The sales amount and drug use frequency (DDDs) and drug utilization index (DUI) of traditional Chinese medicine injection for activating blood circulation were sorted and analyzed in our hospital from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012. Results The total sales amount of traditional Chinese medicine injection for activating blood circulation gradually increased in our hospital during that time. The proportion of varieties with the ratio DUI sum/DDDs sort of closed to 1 (0.75≤order ratio≤1.25) in the three quarters of 2012 accounted for 53.33%, 53.33%, and 66.67%, respectively. This indicated that the usage of traditional Chinese medicine injection for activating blood circulation was more unreasonable, but tended to be reasonable. Conclusion The usage of traditional Chinese medicine injection for activating blood circulation was basically rational in our hospital, and efficacy of clinical pharmacist intervention was obvious. Effective and safe evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine injection can be further strengthened, in order to improve the efficacy and reduce the adverse reaction.
