E-drug: The DDD-concepts are misinterpreted !
---------------------------------------------
In reference to John Urquart`s problem:
Referring to my recent E-drug message on the DDD-concept (point 1 -
practical principles), there is only one comment to make about John`s
information. The people responsible for the reimbursement policy in the
Dutch setting demonstrate a fundamental ignorance with regard to the
meaning and function of DDD. The DDD-definition is just a substance
specific volume unit - practically functioning similarly to mg, gram, ml
etc.. It shall by no means overrun pharmaceutical science and/or
physiological facts.
