<jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>Studies on adolescent drug use are scarce as most studies do not distinguish between children and adolescents. Therefore, we assessed overall drug use in adolescents.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective cohort study was conducted using pharmacy dispensing records from 62 community pharmacies in the Netherlands. Dispensing records of the previous 5 years were extracted for adolescents (12–18 years).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The study population consisted of 47 421 adolescents who collected at least one medication prescription during adolescence (mean age 15.5±1.8 years; 48.9% males). Half of them collected dermatologicals (46.2% males; 52.3% females), followed by drugs for the respiratory system (43.4% males; 40.3% females) and anti-infectives for systemic use (31.3% males; 39.1% females). The percentage of males using dermatologicals slightly increased, while the percentage of female users decreased with age. The most prescribed active ingredient was methylphenidate.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>These insights into adolescent drug use help us to better understand adolescent healthcare use.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial registration number</jats:title><jats:p>Dutch trial register NTR5061.</jats:p></jats:sec> |
