1 82 Letters Vol. 20 No. 2 August 2000 Fig. 1. Cost evolution of morphine. Daily dose 180 mg. 1 US$ 1$. SR, sustained release; IR, immediate release. Magistral morphine: mean value (US$155); standard deviation 52, min. 65, max IR morphine #2: wholesale cost ( 500 pills). Source: Manual Farmacéutico, Editorial AlfaBeta, ISSN the magistral preparations. This may have been the first positive result of the competitiveness in the opioid market. The second positive result of this competitiveness might have been the sharp and significant decrease in price of a second commercial IR morphine. The price of this drug was initially high and was recently set at a similar level as the international price and lower than the average cost of magistral prescriptions. This price reduction was probably induced by the appearance of methadone in the Argentine market, which was the least expensive analgesic option. We hope that this last change will generate a third positive fact in the near future: the reduction of the price of methadone to its international value. These analyses indicates that quality products can become available, and also favor the more inexpensive one. The search for the best cost/benefit ratio, its promotion and diffusion, is an ethical responsibility for all of us who are in clinical and teaching positions and wish the most convenient treatments for our patients. In Argentina, the efforts to disseminate this concept, the implementation of clinical and teaching programs based on WHO and Pan- American Health Organization recommendations, and the free competitiveness of the pharmaceutical companies in a liberal market have achieved substantial changes in the availability of low cost opioids.

J Pain Symptom Manage, 1997, 13: Gabapentin, an Adjuvant Treatment for Neuropathic Pain in a Cancer Hospital To the Editor: In a recent article by Caraceni et al., 1 gabapentin was judged to be efficacious as an adjuvant analgesic for neuropathic cancer pain in 20 out of 22 patients. We report on our experi-

We carried out a retrospective review of the case notes of 20 patients who had been prescribed gabapentin since January 1999 (Table 1). In our review, only 9 (45%) patients reported a significant improvement in their pain following administration of gabapentin. For a further 5 patients, it was difficult to evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin due to the concomitant use of other neuropathic agents, such as amitriptyline, tramadol, and opioids. In addition, 6 patients out of the 20 who were prescribed gabapentin developed severe enough to warrant the discontinuation of the drug. The most common were dizziness and nausea. As systematic reviews have shown little difference in the efficacy and side effect profile of antidepressants and anticonvulsants, 2 good quality studies comparing the efficacy and side effect profile of gabapentin with these neuropathic agents are needed. The findings of these studies will be important because the high cost of gabapentin frequently limits its use in hospital and general practice.
