    Drug utilization studies offer valuable epidemiological insights. This research reviews methodology and applications in areas like diabetes, hypertension, and oncology.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Drug utilization studies have advanced significantly in the last decade.
    • They serve as a key tool in clinical pharmacology and epidemiology.
    • The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends specific methodologies for these studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the general principles of drug utilization studies.
    • To highlight the WHO-recommended methodology using defined daily doses (D.D.D.).
    • To demonstrate the epidemiological applications of drug utilization studies through various examples.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and established methodologies.
    • Focus on the WHO's defined daily doses (D.D.D.) framework.
