Overview
The DSRU conducts drug utilisation studies to examine the distribution and use of drugs in the general population.
These studies can be used to establish how drugs are used in a real-world setting and whether they are being prescribed and used as intended.
Our drug utilisation studies include those that form part of risk management plans and use a range of data sources, enabling the following information to be captured from real-world use:
- Characteristics of users
- Indications for use
- Dosing regime
- Co-morbidities
- Concomitant medication use
- Potential off-label use
