ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Highly active antiretroviral therapies against the human immunodeficiency virus are available for patients in France in community pharmacy or in hospital pharmacy. More than 20 years after the implementation of the dual delivery system, it seems necessary to question the relevance of the dual dispensing circuit both in terms of service provided to patients and expenditure for health insurance.METHODS:
The health insurance files were used to quantify the delivery of antiretrovirals therapies in the community pharmacy and in the hospital pharmacy. A survey was performed involving patients to find out their point of view on dispensing in hospital pharmacy and were the patients came from. The differential cost from the health insurance point of view between the two delivery system was calculated on the basis of the quantities delivered and the purchase prices at the hospital center in 2018.RESULTS:
More than 80% of the quantities of antiretrovirals therapies are now delivered by community pharmacies. The arguments in favor of the antiretrovirals therapies dispensation by hospital pharmacy forwarded by patients are the anonymity and constant medicines availability. Health insurance is required to refund a drug at different prices depending on the delivery place, for about 37 per box in favour of hospital dispensing.CONCLUSION:
This study presents a complete inventory of the dual delivery system for antiretroviral therapies. Hospital and community therefore remain complementary to welcome outptients who will seek different delivery methods there. Little known to patients and professionals, this dual delivery system generates complexities at the stages of prescription, dispensing and reimbursement. It only concerns a minority of patients and its benefit for health insurance seems uncertain.Palavras-chave
