Abstract

INTRODUCTION Benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines hypnotics are used widely worldwide. (1) Along with opioids, these drugs are monitored particularly for their potential for misuse, abuse, dependency, and serious adverse effects. Over [...], We evaluated the impact of the implementation of a requirement that zolpidem prescriptions be obtained via secured forms (April 2017) on zolpidem and other hypnotics use in France. We conducted a time-series analysis on data from the French national health care system, from January 1, 2015 to January 3, 2018, for all reimbursed hypnotics. An important and immediate decrease in zolpidem use (-161,873 defined daily doses [DDD]/month; -215,425 to -108,323) was evidenced, with a concomitant raise in zopiclone use (+64,871; +26,925 to + 102,817). These findings suggest that the change in zolpidem prescribing policies was effective, but has resulted in a shift from zolpidem to zopiclone. Further interventions are needed to decrease hypnotics' overuse in France. Key words: zolpidem; hypnotics and sedatives; health policy; drug prescriptions; ambulatory care; interrupted time-series analysis https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.2556.
