INTRODUCTION
Charts are organised by BNF classification and show comparative costs at basic
NHS prices (as of April 2015) for selected agents. Except where indicated otherwise,
each chart shows the cost of 1 year1 of treatment at a standard daily dose (shown in
brackets). The doses given are not intended to imply therapeutic equivalence and for
some drug groups – such as ACE inhibitors – doses may vary according to
indication. Additionally, in some therapeutic areas – such as antibacterial drugs – the
duration of treatment may differ from that shown.
NEW - Cost comparison charts are now available in Excel format to all stakeholders
(under password protection) on our NHS website: http://rdtc.nhs.uk/

There are differences in opinion regarding dose conversion ratios —
current practice is based on pharmacokinetic data from
observational and uncontrolled studies, and on expert opinion and
experience. Reported equi-analgesic dose ratios vary widely. When
converting from one opioid to another, regular assessment and
reassessment of efficacy and adverse effects is essential because of
the lack of evidence on equi-analgesic doses and inter-individual
variations.
