5PSQ-086 Optimisation of stock of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel by using a semi-automatic planning system

摘要

Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LICG) is for the treatment of patients with late Parkinson’s disease. The treatment with LICG represents considerable costs. LICG is distributed after a defrosting procedure resulting in unusual short expiration of 8 to 10 weeks. Therefore, it is a challenge to plan and hold stock, and dispense it to the patients without the risk of exceeding the expiration. The biggest problem is the unknown patients’ stock and unexpected changes in treatment. Earlier, several pharmacists kept all these records in a paper calendar which meant excessive paperwork and a high risk of dispensing LICG with too short an expiration.
