A Comprehensive Cost Variation Analysis of Drugs Used in the Management of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Across India |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Background: This study aims to examine the cost variations of oral antidiabetic agents in India, highlighting the financial barriers that may impact patient adherence and treatment efficacy.
Methods: This analytical study was performed by analysing the prices of 18 oral antidiabetic drugs with 42 formulations. Data was collected from the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) platform, focusing on single-drug tablet formulations. Price variations were assessed using cost ratios and percentage cost variations. Compliance with the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) ceiling prices were also analysed.
Results: The study revealed significant price variations among different brands of the same drug, with voglibose 0.3 mg exhibiting the highest cost ratio (1:139.92) and percentage variation (13892.30%). Additionally, a notable proportion of brands exceeded the DPCO ceiling prices, particularly metformin 1000 mg, where 9 out of 15 brands were non-compliant to the ceiling price.
Conclusion: Despite the presence of a regulatory authority, substantial price variability among oral antidiabetic agents persists in India, potentially affecting patient adherence and health outcomes. The violations of DPCO pricing regulations indicate a need for stricter enforcement and expansion of price controls to ensure the affordability of essential medications and improve overall patient care. |
