Abstract
The aim of this study is to provide more information in terms of the cost-effectiveness of
selecting an enantiopure formulation over a racemic mixture in the context of promoting rational
use of medicines. This was done by comparing costs and efficacy of escitalopram versus
citalopram and esomeprazole versus omeprazole since they are the most commonly used
medicines with both racemate and enantiopure products registered.
