TL;DR: There was a mismatch between need and use of Psychotropic drugs in India and there was a continuous decline in Antipsychotics (AP) and Anxiolytics (AA) in final year.
Abstract: Objective: To assess the pattern of sales of Psychotropic drugsin India over a period of thirty-six months. Methods: Psychotropic sales by rupees and units over a thirty-six month period were analysed in relation to estimated patient population and population taking treatment. Results: There was an increase in per capita sales over the years. Even though there was a progressive increase in sale amount in all drugs, unit-wise there was a continuous decline in Antipsychotics (AP) and Anxiolytics (AA) in final year. Conventional AP though declining, have substantial share in sales. Similarly older AD accounted for substantial sales. Limitations: Lack of different strengths of various drugs in unitshindered a finer and meaningful analysis. Conclusions: There was a mismatch between need and use of Psychotropic drugs Recommended: Analysis of individual drugs unit-wise to get a view of pattern of use in different parts of the country.

TL;DR: Mental health problems and psychotropic treatments account for an important and potentially preventable minority of workplace injury events and are confirmed to raise risks of accidental injury at work.
Abstract: Objectives some evidence exists that mental health problems and drugs with psychotropic effects may raise risks of accidental injury at work. To confirm this and to quantify risks we undertook a case-control analysis nested within the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD). Methods The GPRD logs all primary care information for some 6% of the British population. Medical consultations and referrals are classified by the Read system and drug prescriptions according to the British National Formulary. Using the GPRD, we identified 1,348 patients aged 16–64 years consulting a general practitioner between 1/1/89 and 31/12/09 for a workplace injury (cases - 479 diagnostic codes) and 6,652 age, sex, and practice-matched controls (subjects with no such consultation). Cases and controls were compared in terms of consultations for mental health problems (1,328 diagnostic codes) and prescription of hypnotics, anxiolytics and antidepressants before the index date of injury. Associations were explored using conditional logistic regression with adjustment for recorded alcohol misuse. Results In all, 1,846 (23%) of the 8,000 subjects had had at least one consultation in one/more of the coded psychiatric categories prior to the index date; 1,682 (21%) had been prescribed one/more drugs of inquiry. Odds of injury consultation were raised 46% (P Conclusions Mental health problems and psychotropic treatments account for an important and potentially preventable minority of workplace injury events.
