OBJECTIVE: To explore the pharmacoeconomic effect of Ginkgo dipyidamolum, argatroban or sodium ozagerl combined with edaravone in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS: In retrospective study, 64 ACI patients were divided into group A (Ginkgo dipyidamolum+edaravone, 22 cases), group B (argatroban+edaravone, 19 cases) and group C (sodium ozagerl+edaravone, 23 cases). Therapeutic efficacies were observed after 7-14 days of treatment; therapy cost was calculated, and cost-minimization analysis was used to evaluate pharmacoeconomics. RESULTS: There was no statistical significance in total effective rate among 3 groups (P>0.05); the costs of group A,group B and group C were 8 746.36 yuan,10 770.64 yuan and 8 264.67 yuan. Results of sensitivity analysis were in line with those of cost-minimization analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Therapy plan of sodium ozagerl+edaravone is the economical regime in the treatment of ACI.
