Methodology: A retrospective cohort study compares the units of analogueinsulin consumed with the expense per patient during the periods of December/l 4-May/15 versus December/15-May/16. Statisticaltreatment is applied to data obtained and the results are analyzed. Results: The expense per patient during the period ofDecember/15-May/16 was statistically less than the one during the same period on the year before (December/14-May/15), having astate dispensing saving per patient of US$ 1.34 per month. And a saving per patient in the pharmaceutical care is approximatelyUS$ 2.82 per month. Conclusions: Cost savings in care of insulin-dependent diabetic population enrolled in the subsidized plan waspossible due to the development of cost/effective dispensing strategies that allowed access and safety of insulin therapy.展开更多
