To estimate the rate of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) dosing that is lower- and higher-than-recommended to describe reasons for NOAC dose discordance with Health Canada prescribing information.The OPTIMAL AF Programme was an observational cohort quality assessment initiative in which primary specialty care physicians eight provinces provided a snapshot their anticoagulated non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients through either electronic medical record (EMR) system or...
Switches between branded (reference) medications and the corresponding generic or two different occur commonly during treatment of central nervous system disorders. Prescribing a product in place reference can reduce patient pharmacy costs. But there be implications.
