Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination dextropropoxyphene/paracetamol (DXP/P) was the most prescribed opioid analgesic until its withdrawal in 2011. OBJECTIVES This study investigated dispensations of analgesics in chronic users of DXP/P during the 18 months following its withdrawal. METHODS A cross-sectional study repeated yearly was conducted by using the French reimbursement database from 2006 to 2015. Chronic DXP/P users were defined as patients who received at least 40 boxes of DXP/P in the year prior to withdrawal. Data on analgesic dispensing were analyzed at DXP/P withdrawal (T0) and then every 6 months for 18 months. RESULTS A total of 63 671 subjects had a DXP/P reimbursement in the year prior to its discontinuation, of whom 7.1% were identified as chronic users (mean age: 71.5 years, women: 68.7%). Among the patients taking DXP/P alone at T0 (74.6%), one fourth switched to a peripheral analgesic, one fourth to a combination of peripheral analgesic/opioid, one fourth to another opioid, and the others mainly discontinued their treatment (14.1%) or died. During the following 12 months, most of the subjects taking only peripheral analgesics continued this treatment, while half of the subjects with a combination of opioid/peripheral analgesic or taking only an analgesic remained on this type of treatment. CONCLUSION Eighteen months after DXP/P withdrawal, more than 10% of patients stopped taking an analgesic. Vigilance is required regarding any change in analgesics by regularly reassessing patients' pain and, in the case of opioid treatments, by monitoring the risk of use disorders.

Ten-year trend of opioid and nonopioid analgesic use in the French adult population. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 87:555-564.

Abstract
AIMS Analgesics are the most widely used medicines worldwide. In parallel, opioid abuse has increased and is of major concern. The accessibility of pharmacologically powerful medicines and the addictovigilance signals in France about the risk of opiates addiction call for an overview of analgesic use. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of analgesics reimbursed in France over a 10-year period through its prevalence. METHODS A cross-sectional study repeated yearly was conducted by using data from the French reimbursement database from 2006 to 2015. Analgesics were classified according to their pharmacological potency: prevalence of use for each category and sociodemographic characteristics of patients treated were analysed. RESULTS The annual prevalence of analgesic use was high and increased during the study period (59.8%, 253 976 users in 2015). In 2015, prevalence was always higher in women and increased with age, except for those older than 84 years. Peripheral analgesics were the most used (55.3%, 234 739 users). The prevalence of weak analgesic use decreased (21.3%, 90 257 users), mainly due to the definitive withdrawal of dextropropoxyphene in France in 2011, which was not offset by an increase in the consumption of other weak analgesics. For strong analgesics (1.2%, 5129 users), morphine was the most widely used, with a dramatic increase in oxycodone use, especially in the elderly. CONCLUSION The prevalence of analgesic use is high: approximately 31 million adults had at least 1 analgesic reimbursed in 2015. The most widely used analgesics were peripheral analgesics, far ahead of opioid analgesics.

Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2019; 33:471-478. [PMID: 30687946 DOI: 10.1111/fcp.12450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Revised: 01/17/2019] [Accepted: 01/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Atropinic drugs are known to potentially induce physical and/or mental impairments in the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate trends of atropinic exposure in patients ≥65 years in France between 2006 and 2015. A repeated cross-sectional study was performed quarterly from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2015, in the 'Echantillon Généraliste des Bénéficiaires (EGB)', a representative sample of the French population. Exposed patients were identified using the Anticholinergic Durán's list. Outcomes were rate of patients exposed to at least one atropinic drug (atropinic prevalence rate) and atropinic burden per patient (sum of atropinic burden scores). Interrupted time series were used to analyze the impact of market withdrawal of some drugs with atropinic properties during the period of the study. The number of patients ≥65 years registered in the EGB ranged from 75 611 in 2006 to 95 389 in 2015. Atropinic prevalence rate decreased significantly from 45.6% in 2006 to 33.2% in 2015 (-12.4%, slope significance P < 0.05). Subjects aged ≥85 years were the most exposed. Total atropinic burden decreased significantly between 2006 and 2015 (2.2 ± 1.7 in 2006; 2.0 ± 1.5 in 2015; slope significance P < 0.05), especially in patients ≥85 years. Market withdrawals for safety reasons of some atropinic drugs were significantly associated with a decrease in the atropinic prevalence rate (P < 0.05) and atropinic burden per patient (P < 0.05). In conclusion, atropinic drug exposure in the elderly significantly decreased in France between 2006 and 2015. This decrease can be partly explained by regulatory measures against some atropinic drugs.

[PMID: 29609613 PMCID: PMC5880096 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-018-3058-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2017] [Accepted: 03/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In 2009, the European Medicines Agency recommended withdrawal of dextropropoxyphene (DXP); in March 2011 it was withdrawn from the market in France. Up until that time the combination dextropropoxyphene-paracetamol (DXP/PC) was widely used for analgesia. At withdrawal, French regulators recommended that DXP/PC be replaced by other step 2 analgesics, i.e. tramadol, codeine, or opium-containing drugs, or by PC for a weak level of pain. To investigate prescribing behaviours after DXP/PC withdrawal, dispensations of analgesics before and after withdrawal were analysed. Methods Aggregated dispensation data of analgesics prescribed between January 2009 and December 2012 in the Rhône-Alpes region were obtained from the general health insurance claims data; changes in analgesic dispensation over time were analysed with the ATC/DDD methodology. Pre (Jan-June 2009) and post-withdrawal (Jan-June 2012) changes of DDDs where computed for each analgesic step. Results The dispensations of DXP/PC experienced a two-step decrease until 2011. Over the withdrawal period 2009-2012, there was a 14% decrease in the overall use of analgesic (from 109 to 94 DDDs), while the use of step 2 analgesics declined by 46% (− 22 DDDs, from 47 to 25 DDDs). This latter decline included a cessation of use of DXP/PC (29 DDDs in 2009) that were only in part (+ 7 DDDs, from 18 to 25 DDDs) compensated by increased use of codeine, tramadol and opium, in monotherapy or combined with PC. For step 1 analgesics, use increased with 9%, mostly PC (+ 8 DDDs, from 31 to 39 DDDs). Step 3 analgesics dispensations remained largely unchanged over this period (around 3 DDDs). Conclusions In the Rhône-Alpes region, DXP/PC withdrawal was accompanied in part by an increased use of same level analgesics, and in part by an increased use of PC in monotherapy. The extent of DXP/PC use before withdrawal, and the increased use of PC after DXP withdrawal, underline the complexity of pain management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tramadol is a weak opioid used as a step 2 analgesic, approved in France for moderate to severe pain. After dextropropoxyphene withdrawal, a national pharmacovigilance follow-up of tramadol was decided by the French Drug Agency. METHODS All Serious Adverse Drug Reactions (SADR) notified with tramadol to the French PharmacoVigilance Centres (CRPV) and pharmaceutical companies between August 1(st), 2010 and July 31(th), 2011 were analyzed. RESULTS During the study period, 296 cases of SADR were notified to CRPV and 59 to pharmaceutical companies. Apart from opiate-related SADR, tramadol induced serotoninergic SADR, including seizures or serotoninergic syndromes. Several « unlabelled » SADR were also identified: some of them, like hyponatremia or hypoglycemia, are poorly known by health professionals. Other were never published: peripheral edema or pancreatitis. CONCLUSION This study shows that besides well-known opioid or serotoninergic ADR, tramadol can also induce 2 other relatively unknown ADR: hypoglycemia and hyponatremia.
