Abstract: Objective To evaluate the narcotic drug use in treatment of severe cancer pain at our hospital, and to provide reference for clinical rational use of drugs. Methods The information of narcotic drugs for outpatients at our hospital was collected from 2011 to 2012. The content included the amount of medication, medication days, defined daily dose (DDD), medication frequency, defined daily cost (DDC), drug utilization index (DUI). Results The first place of the amount of medication and DDDs was morphine sustained -release tablet. Drugs of DUI >1 were morphine sustained-release tablet, morphine injection, bucinnazine hydrochloride injection and pethidine hydrochloride injection.The highest DDC drug was hydroxyl oxycodone sustained -release tablet. Conclusion The use of three -step analgesic ladder for outpatients with cancer at our hospital was fundamentally rational, yet there are some problems to be solved.
