[Benzodiazepines and Z-Drugs - Analyses of Ambulatory Prescriptions from 2006 to 2015].

CONCLUSION: Over the past years the amount of inappropriate or risky benzodiazepine and z-drug prescriptions (which are not in accordance with the guideline) among patients with statutory health insurance is steadily decreasing. However, two fifths of the patients still received prescriptions for long-term intake or in higher doses. It remains unclear to what extent private prescriptions are used for inappropriate or long-term prescriptions of benzodiazepines and z-drugs. PMID: 31412372 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
