Utilisation Trends of Lisdexamfetamine: Insights From Recent Medicine Shortages in Australia
Dispensing patterns of lisdexamfetamine, by strength, changed significantly during the medicines shortages periods revealing potential changes in prescriber and patient behaviours, such as switching to higher strength products or using medicines intermittently, to maintain continuity of care. To facilitate quality use of medicines during shortages, dispensing patterns must be monitored so that inequities of access can be identified and addressed.
