ABSTRACT
To find out the patterns and trend of clinical use of antihypertensive agents to provide a guidance for rational use of drugs, the antihypertensive drugs used in our hospital during 1995-1999 period was investigated in respect to the sum of consumption cost, drugs used and DDDs. Our results showed that the DDDs and the consumption cost for antihypertensive drugs have increased gradually for recent 5 years. The order of DDDs of drugs was as follows: calcium antagonists, adrenergic blocking drugs, ACE inhibitors, the drugs affecting sympathetic transmitters and peripheral vasodilators. The order of sum of money was as follows: ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists and calcium antagonists respectively. It is concluded that a diverse array of anthhypertensive agents were available and widely used clinically and attention should be paid to the rational use of the drugs.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of diltiazem on the blood concentration and the renal toxicity of cyclosporin A(CsA) in patients with renal transplantation.METHODS: 25 patients with renal transplantation were divided into two groups,the therapeutic group were treated with diltiazem plus CsA and control group CsA alone and the valley blood concentration of CsA was detected by FPIA assay.RESULTS:The dosage of CsA in therapeutic group was less than that in control group significantly,the levels of UA,Scr and BUN in patients were decreased by diltiazem.CONCLUSION:The diltiazem therapy can decrease the dosage and toxic effect of CsA,then save the patient's medical costs.
