How it was counted

1. 1Found the term as written in the record text using prefix matching.
2. 2Pulled start and end dates from prescription records and kept those past eight weeks.
3. 3Removed four records where the duration had been extracted wrongly.

Result

• 47 instances across 21 patients.

  Session 87abbbbc

What this number cannot say

• Durations are read from what was written, which may differ from actual use.
• This is the subset where the product is mentioned, out of 1,967. Do not read it as a market rate.
• The same session surfaced 50 records with a wrongly attached ingredient name. That is a defect on our side and is being fixed separately.
