仿制药是专利已过期的原研药的复制品。其含有相同的活性物质，在安全性、有效性、药品质量方面是等效的。仿制药是在原研药专利到期后生产的，这可以增强竞争并降低患者和医疗保健系统的成本。它们受到严格的监管和质量控制标准，以确保符合制药规范。本研究旨在确定马拉喀什穆罕默德六世大学医院 (UH) 医疗部门内仿制药处方的现状。这是一项具有描述性和分析性目的的横断面研究，涉及马拉喀什穆罕默德六世大学医院 (UH) 医疗部门开具的 224 份处方。为了获得研究所需的数据，我们提供了病历、处方表和向住院患者提供的处方。在我们的研究中，分析了 224 个处方，总共 989 种处方药物，平均每个处方有 4.42 - 2.39 种药物。精神科处方占处方总数258张（26.09%），其次是心内科130张（13.14%）和内科114张（11.53%）。夏威夷大学医疗部门的通用处方率为 403 (40.75%)。肿瘤科的通用处方率最高（27种（64.29%）），其次是感染科和风湿科，分别为29种（63.04%）和34种（60.71%）。相比之下，精神科的通用处方率仅为 54（20.93%）。最常开处方的仿制药类别是胃抗分泌药（39 例（100%））、止吐药（32 例（94.12%））和抗病毒药（9 例（81.82%））。绝大多数药物（896 种（90.59%））是可以报销的。总之，我们注意到，与其他机构相比，夏威夷大学的仿制药处方率仍然处于平均水平，需要提高以优化资源和控制医疗成本。版权所有 © 2024，Zaoui 等人。

A generic medication is a copy of an original drug for which the patent has expired. It contains the same active substances and is equivalent in terms of safety, efficacy, and pharmaceutical quality. Generic drugs are produced after the expiration of the brand-name drug's patent, which enables greater competition and reduces costs for patients and healthcare systems. They are subjected to strict regulatory and quality control standards to ensure compliance with pharmaceutical norms. This study aims to determine the current status of generic drug prescribing within the medical departments of the Mohammed VI University Hospital (UH) of Marrakesh. This is a cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims, involving 224 prescriptions issued in the medical departments of the Mohammed VI University Hospital (UH) of Marrakesh. To obtain the data required for the study, we included medical records, prescription sheets, and prescriptions delivered to hospitalized patients. In our study, 224 prescriptions were analyzed, with an overall total of 989 prescribed drugs, and a mean of 4.42 +- 2.39 drugs per prescription. Prescriptions from the Psychiatry Department accounted for 258 (26.09%) of total prescriptions, followed by those from the Cardiology Department at 130 (13.14%) and the Internal Medicine Department at 114 (11.53%). The generic prescribing rate for the UH's medical departments was 403 (40.75%). The Oncology Department had the highest generic prescribing rate (27 (64.29%)), followed by the Infectious Diseases and Rheumatology departments, at 29 (63.04%) and 34 (60.71%), respectively. In contrast, the Psychiatry Department had a generic prescribing rate of just 54 (20.93%). The most frequently prescribed classes as generic drugs were gastric antisecretory agents at 39 (100%), antiemetics at 32 (94.12%), and antivirals at nine (81.82%). The vast majority of drugs, 896 (90.59%), were reimbursable. In conclusion, we have noted that the generic drug prescription rate at the UH remains average compared with other institutions, and needs to be improved to optimize resources and control healthcare costs.Copyright © 2024, Zaoui et al.
