Pharmacoeconomic analysis of vildagliptin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Currently, there are more and more cases of switching between drugs belonging to the same pharmacological group in favor of a drug with a lower cost. However, it is important to note that from the point of view of the overall economic effect of the use of a medicinal product, its market value may not be the main cost driver. Against this background, for rational prescribing of drugs and efficient use of resources of the health care system, first of all, attention should be paid to other factors characterizing medicines. In order to examine the actualized problem on a practical example, we carried out pharmacoeconomic research of two drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes from the group of selective inhibitors of dipeptypeptidase (DPP-4) - alogliptin and vildagliptin. The aim of the study was to establish whether the transition to an alternative, characterized by a lower cost, will be accompanied by savings in the health care system. The results of the pharmacoeconomic analysis obtained by the authors showed that “switching” patients from the drug vildagliptin to the medicinal drug alogliptin in order to save the health budget is an erroneous strategy, since according to the meta-analysis based on the Juan Ling et all, 2018. As result are total costs higher, increased complications and worse control of diabetes.
