Other information

In a Swedish registry study, all dispensed prescriptions to persons 75-89 years of age during a 4-month period in 2005 were analyzed. During this period, 105 007 women and 46 693 men were treated with hypnotics or sedatives. Of these, 16 289 women (16%) and 8 961 men (19%) were treated with propiomazine (adjusted odds ratio 0.77) [1]. However, in 2019, the data of propiomazine utilization from The National Board of Health and Welfare show a higher dispensation to women [2]. If this is a change over time or if it is due to the study focusing on shorter time period, while the drug utilization data was based on one year data, is not clear.
