Abstract
- The article presents a study on the healthcare trend in Australia which involves the prescription of anti-Parkinsonian drugs (APD) from 1995 to 2009. The study analyzed the databases of the Medicare Australia and Drug Utilisation Sub-Committee (DUSC) for prescription data of dispensed APD from 1995. It has been found that there is a slow increase in the amount of dispensed levodopa and that levodopa + benserazide is increasing at a faster rate than levodopa + carbidopa.
