Prescription of generic drugs is a public health policy challenge with a very high economic potential worldwide, particularly in the Kingdom of Morocco. Generic drug prescriptions seem to be an effective measure to decrease the cost of drugs and improve affordability. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to the prescription of generic drugs among general practitioners.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among general practitioners in the prefectures of Sidi Bernoussi and Moulay Youssef in Casablanca between January and April 2019. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. In addition to a descriptive analysis of the results, logistic regression was performed to determine the factors that might be associated with generic prescriptions (prescriptions of at least 25% of generics). RStudio Software was used for the analyses.
The factors associated with generic prescriptions in the bivariate analysis were intrinsic to general practitioners. Multivariate analysis showed that advanced age >40 years (OR = 3.89 [1.44-10.53]) and the good perception of the generics in terms of observance (OR = 4.67 [1.73-12.59]) and quality (OR = 2.82 [1.08-7.36]) were associated with an increase in common generic prescribing.
This study highlights the influence of general practitioners' perceptions of the prescription of generics.
在全球范围内，尤其是在摩洛哥王国，开具仿制药处方是一项具有极高经济潜力的公共卫生政策挑战。开具仿制药处方似乎是降低药品成本和提高可及性的一项有效措施。本研究的目的是确定全科医生中与开具仿制药处方相关的因素。
这项横断面研究于2019年1月至4月在卡萨布兰卡的西迪·贝努西和穆莱·优素福辖区的全科医生中开展。数据通过自填式问卷收集。除了对结果进行描述性分析外，还进行了逻辑回归分析，以确定可能与仿制药处方（至少25%为仿制药的处方）相关的因素。分析使用RStudio软件。
在双变量分析中，与仿制药处方相关的因素是全科医生自身的因素。多变量分析显示，年龄>40岁（比值比[OR]=3.89[1.44 - 10.53]）以及对仿制药在依从性（OR = 4.67[1.73 - 12.59]）和质量（OR = 2.82[1.08 - 7.36]）方面的良好认知与普通仿制药处方的增加相关。
本研究强调了全科医生对仿制药处方认知的影响。
