We
categorized the 140 prescriptions recorded as frequently prescribed
drugs (i.e., drugs with >3 prescriptions) and infrequently
prescribed drugs. Of the frequently administered drugs (n=119),
L-asparaginase (22.14%) and vincristine (20.71%) were the most
commonly prescribed. Among the 22 infrequently administered drugs (drugs
with ≤3 prescriptions), etoposide (2.14%) was the most commonly
prescribed.
All parenteral chemotherapy drugs studied were available either as a
single-use liquid (52.14%) or powder (47.85%) formulation.
