A previous study, described in Part I of this report, found that 71% of a sample of 5,003 general outpatients in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system were receiving a unique drug regimen (i.e., total specific drug entities regardless of dose, formulation, or administration schedule). The simplest regimens contained only one drug, while the most complex regimens exceeded 20 different drugs. The purpose of the present study was to determine if patients receiving a specific therapeutic class of medications (e.g., antidepressants) have more homogeneous drug regimens.
