Disse legemidlene har siden 1. mai 2006 vært<br />

de foretrukne legemidlene ved behandling av<br />

allergi og elveblest (allergisk utslett). Bare<br />

pasienter som ikke kan bruke cetirizin eller<br />

loratadin kan få andre antihistaminer<br />

refundert.<br />

Rhinologika og andre preparater til lokalt<br />

bruk (R01AA)<br />

Salget i ATC-gruppe R01AA har økt med<br />

26 % i total DDD de siste fem årene (2003-<br />

2007). Økningen skyldes økt omsetning av<br />

xylometazolin (R01AA07), som også selges<br />

utenom apotek (for omsetning av midler mot<br />

nesetetthet som også omsettes utenom<br />

apotek, se s. 15).<br />

114<br />

ATC gruppe R<br />

(ATC group R06) have decreased the latest<br />

three years as a consequence of increased<br />

generic substitution and measures taken by<br />

the Norwegian government. Cetirizine and<br />

loratadine have been included in the<br />

“indexgroup” pricing system, and the graded<br />

price model system. Since 1 st May 2006<br />

these drugs should be the drugs of choice in<br />

the treatment of allergy and urticaria. Other<br />

antihistamines will only be reimbursed to<br />

patients having medical reasons for not using<br />

cetirizin and loratadin.<br />

Decongestants and other nasal<br />

preparations for topical use (R01AA)<br />

Sales in the ATC group R01AA has increased<br />

by 26 % in total DDDs the last five years<br />

(2003-2007). The increase is due to<br />

increased sales of xylometazoline<br />

(R01AA07), which is also sold outside<br />

pharmacies (sales of OTC drugs used as<br />

decongestants see page 15).
