Extract
Pharmacoeconomic studies are often performed in order to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different treatments in clinical practice. Such studies are exerting an increasingly important influence on treatment choices in all areas of medicine, including psychiatry, and reflect the desire to contain rising costs of medical care [27]. Pharmacoeconomic analyses indicating cost savings can even be a prerequisite for inclusion of a new drug on national formularies [28].
