Observational StudyImpact of hydrocodone reclassification on analgesic prescribing in the Veterans Health Administration.
The impact of hydrocodone reclassification on analgesic prescribing in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) was quantified. ⋯ HCP dispensing in VHA declined by 19.4% in the quarter after reclassification, which was driven largely by patients receiving long-term therapy. More than 13,000 veterans discontinued receipt of long-term HCP therapy after reclassification and the majority did not receive a replacement analgesic through VHA.
