Cost Minimisation Analysis of Iv Antibiotics

Author(s) Chitra B, Abhirami Jose, Anjali M A
Country India
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern worldwide. Minimizing the use of antibiotics is essential to slow this trend. Cost minimisation is also important, as antibiotics can be expensive. Implementing policies to encourage responsible use and developing new treatments can help reduce the need for antibiotics. By doing so, we can protect the efficacy of current antibiotics and save money in the long run. The present study focused on evaluating IV antibiotics and conducting a cost minimization analysis. The study compares the maximum and minimum prices of various branded and generic antibiotic drugs available in India using CIMS 2022 edition. The cost ratio and cost variation percentage for individual drugs were calculated and compared. The highest percentage of cost variation was seen among Gentamicin 80 mg, Meropenem 1 gm, Piperacillin + Tazobactam 4.5 gm and the lowest percentage of cost variation was seen among Vancomycin 1gm, Linezolid 600 mg and Vancomycin 500 mg. The findings indicated that the selection of appropriate antibiotics is crucial in ensuring effective cost minimization of antibiotic usage among patients.
