| pubmed-article:10146972 | pubmed:abstractText | An economic evaluation comparing roxithromycin 150mg twice daily and cefaclor 250mg thrice daily in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) was undertaken as part of a randomised clinical trial in New Zealand general practice. The observed statistically significant difference in adverse events, withdrawal rates and extra treatment courses in favour of roxithromycin in the clinical study was translated into medical cost savings. Treatment failures, withdrawals or adverse events resulted in additional costs for 11 of 120 (9%) patients receiving roxithromycin and 19 of 118 (16%) patients receiving cefaclor. In these cases (treatment failures, withdrawals, adverse effects) additional antibiotics and general practitioner visits were required 3 times more often and the cost of additional medication for treating failure or adverse effects was 3 times higher for patients treated with cefaclor than for patients receiving roxithromycin. The total direct medical cost per patient treated with roxithromycin was $NZ9.37 lower (on an incremental basis) than for patients treated with cefaclor, despite a higher drug acquisition cost. An estimate of $NZ656 000 per year in total savings in direct medical costs could be made in New Zealand if roxithromycin were to replace all cefaclor prescriptions in the treatment of LRTI. | lld:pubmed |
