- Abstract
To limit misuse and save costs, on January 1, 2009, benzodiazepines were excluded from the Dutch reimbursement list when used as anxiolytic, hypnotic, or sedative. This study aims to assess the impact of this reimbursement restriction on benzodiazepine use in patients with newly diagnosed anxiety or sleeping disorder in general practice.
