Generic drugs are an important alternative to branded drugs, with the same efficacy. But when too many generics are changed for a pathology, the patient complies less with the doctor's prescriptions, or worsens his adherence to therapy.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Conferenza_DOC_18_11\"This is in summary the preliminary result of a study conducted in 2 Lombard Local Health Authorities, in Pavia and Bergamo, promoted by the National Observatory on Women's Health (Onda) in collaboration with Doc Generici.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results of the study are obtained from the analysis of over 14,500 patients of the two Local Health Authorities<\/span>. Six therapeutic areas were examined: diabetology, cardiology, dyslipidemia, rheumatology, psychiatry and hypertension. "The goal was to see how the patient behaves when the pharmacist replaces a generic medicine prescribed by the doctor with another equivalent medicine, with the same effectiveness."<\/p>\n

The survey found that "the patient's adherence to the prescription decreases, with a value equal to 28% if the replacement affects half of the prescriptions<\/span>. In all 6 areas, there was a progressive reduction in adherence after a drug change: on average, if one generic prescription out of two is replaced with an equivalent one, dyslipidemia and diabetes have the highest percentage reduction of adherence (respectively the 48% and \"\"the 36%), followed by the area of rheumatology (21%) and psychiatry (19%) and hypertension (10%)\u00bb.<\/p>\n

This decline in adherence, the experts conclude, "implies a lower efficacy and safety of therapeutic treatments, with a consequent increase in the risk of complications and a worsening of the patients' health conditions".<\/p>\n
