BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to explore average monthly cost of commonly prescribed oral and transvaginal contraceptives, across ZIP code income groups, in Florida.
STUDY DESIGN
In March, 2011, the MyFloridarx.com database was searched to assess monthly prices of seven commonly prescribed contraceptives charged by Florida pharmacies.
RESULTS
With the exception of TNRG/EE 35 (χ(2)[4, N=401]=18.72, p=.00), monthly costs of contraceptives did not vary significantly across Florida ZIP code median income quintile groups.
CONCLUSION
Overall, while there was little variability in retail pharmacy prices in Florida for seven commonly prescribed contraceptives, monthly costs of individual contraceptives varied widely.
IMPLICATIONS
This report found little variability, across ZIP codes, in retail pharmacy prices in Florida for seven commonly prescribed contraceptives, but the monthly costs of individual contraceptives varied widely. It is paramount that clinicians consider costs when discussing contraceptive options with their patients.
背景
本研究旨在探讨佛罗里达州按邮政编码收入分组的常用口服和阴道避孕药的平均月费用。
研究设计
2011 年 3 月，对 MyFloridarx.com 数据库进行了搜索，以评估佛罗里达药店收取的七种常用避孕药的每月价格。
结果
除了 TNRG/EE 35（χ²（4，N=401）=18.72，p=.00）外，避孕药的月费用在佛罗里达州邮政编码中位数收入五分位数组之间没有显著差异。
结论
总体而言，尽管佛罗里达州七种常用避孕药的零售药房价格差异不大，但个别避孕药的月费用差异很大。
意义
本报告发现，佛罗里达州七种常用避孕药的零售药房价格在邮政编码之间差异不大，但个别避孕药的月费用差异很大。当临床医生与患者讨论避孕选择时，考虑成本至关重要。
