Abstract

In recent years, consumption of oral anticoagulants has increased due to the high incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the development of new drugs. These drugs are associated with a high rate of DRP/NOM related health problems. An observational and cross-sectional study was carried out in an urban community pharmacy in Valladolid to evaluate the safety of DOACs compared to VKAs based on the identification of DRP/NOM in outpatients. The number of DRP/NOM per patient in the sample was 10.15, which implied 5.45 potential interventions. The patients treated with DOACs presented 2.3 DRP/NMO more than those treated with VKA, which leads to 1.3 more potential interventions. However, when we take into account only the DRP/NOM only derived from anticoagulant therapy, VKAs produce 3.0 DRP/NOM compared to 1.4 DRP/NOM derived from the consumption of DOACs. In addition, patients treated with VKAs have 1.20 moderate or severe DRP/NOM more than patients treated with DOACs. These data demonstrate that this type of patient should be a proactive target in pharmaceutical care programs.
