Pharmacoepidemiology of Tourette and Chronic Tic Disorders in Sweden 2005-2013.
Monitoring "real world" dispensation patterns over time is important to build the evidence base for safe and efficient use of psychotropic drugs. In this study, we aimed to comprehensively examine the patterns of psychotropic drug dispensations in patients with Tourette and chronic tic disorders (TD/CTD) in Sweden between 2005 and 2013. ⋯ Long-term monitoring of these drug dispensation patterns and the study of both their beneficial and adverse effects is warranted.
