Australian Statistics on Medicines 2011

Table 2

COMMUNITY PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE,
IN DDD/1000/DAY, FOR 2009 TO 2011

Table 2 lists most drugs on the Australian market by defined daily dose (DDD) per 1000 of the population per day from 2009 to 2011. To be listed in Table 2 the drugs need to have an assigned DDD. Items are arranged on the ATC code by generic name and the DDD/1000/day is given for both the subsidised ‘PBS/RPBS’ and the non-subsidised ‘survey’ components.

DDDs/1000 population/day for combination products are reported in terms of the DDD for each constituent where appropriate, ie, the ASM accounts for drugs in combination products as if they were administered as plain products. In editions prior to 2008, DDDs for combination products were not accounted for. For instance in atorvastatin and amlodipine combination product, the DDD component will be reported in 2 separate locations: the contribution to C10AA05—Atorvastatin and C08CA01—Amlodipine. DDDs entry for these drugs as a combination product is flagged as “combination” where the DDDs are part of a single product then the entry will be flagged as “plain”.

Note that not all combination products are included in table 2. Combination drugs will only be reported in terms of DDD of each constituent where:

  • the constituent drugs were also available as plain drugs on the PBS;
  • the combination was one of the usual forms of these drugs prescribed;
  • the constituent drugs had independent actions ; and
  • the WHO Defined Daily Dose was consistent across the various forms of the constituent drugs.

In addition, Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification index with Defined Daily Doses (DDDs) 2012 is used in all statistics published in this edition (refer to WHO collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology, ATC classification index with DDDs 2012).

An index by the second level of the ATC classification follows:
