Cost Evaluation of Inhaler Therapies Used in Respiratory Diseases : 1998--2015 Period in Turkey

Copyright © 2017. Published by Elsevier Inc..

BACKGROUND: With the rise in life expectancy, the burden of chronic diseases, including obstructive pulmonary diseases, has increased throughout the world.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the sales trends of inhaler pharmaceuticals.

METHODS: The changes in box sales and sales amounts (in Turkish lira) of inhaler pharmaceuticals during the period 1998 to 2015 were examined and sales were projected for the next 3 years. Pharmaceuticals were classified according to form and pharmacological groups.

RESULTS: The sales of inhaler pharmaceuticals have increased rapidly since 2008. The fastest increase in consumption has occurred in short-acting β2 agonist preparations and nebulizer pharmaceuticals. Inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2 agonist combination sales have been the highest since 2002, when these products entered the Turkish market.

CONCLUSIONS: The inhaler pharmaceutical market has grown over the years, and this growth will continue in the future. The increased use of short-acting preparations, which should be used as symptom relievers, indicates that treatment management continues to be inadequate.
