چکیده
Background: Assessing the utilization of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is crucial due to its high cost and limited availability. IVIG preparations are utilized in various disorders. This study aimed to investigate the prescribing and consumption patterns of IVIG at Kerman Afzalipour Hospital and to propose strategies for reducing drug expenditures. Materials and Methods: Over one year, physician orders and patient charts of individuals treated with IVIG were reviewed to collect data. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis using SPSS software. Results: During the study period, ۶۲ IVIG administrations were documented at the hospital, with ۵۴.۱% involving female patients. Of these, ۵۱.۴% were prescribed for labeled indications, while ۴۸.۶% were for off-label indications. No contraindications were observed, although precaution was warranted in ۹.۶% of cases, which was not consistently addressed, and laboratory parameters were not evaluated in any case. Conclusion: This study reveals that IVIG infusions for off-label indications were nearly as frequent as those for labeled indications.کلیدواژه ها
