Dental opioid prescribing rates after the up-scheduling of codeine in Australia.

Abstract:

:The misuse of pharmaceutical opioids is a major public health issue. In Australia, codeine was re-scheduled on 1 February 2018 to restrict access; it is now only available on prescription. The aim of this study was to measure the change in dental opioid prescriptions, one year before and after the codeine re-scheduling in Australia and to assess dental prescribing rates of opioids for 2018 by population and by clinician. Data was extracted for dental opioids for the year immediately prior and after the codeine up-schedule (1 February 2017-31 January 2019) from the publicly-available national prescription database (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme). Descriptive statistics, T-tests and odds ratios were used to identify significant prescribing differences. Codeine, codeine/paracetamol, oxycodone and tramadol use increased significantly the year after the codeine restriction than the previous year (13.8-101.1%). Australian dentists prescribed 8.6 prescriptions/1,000 population in 2018, with codeine/paracetamol accounting for most prescriptions (96%). The significant increase in opioid prescribing highlights that Australian dentists may be contributing to the misuse of pharmaceutical opioids. Educational efforts should be targeted at the appropriate use of opioids and patient selection. Dentists should be added to the prescription monitoring system SafeScript so they can make informed decisions for patients who are potentially misusing opioids.
