Why do patients’ family members need to sign when using butylphthalide?

When using butylphthalide, you should sign a self-paid (expensive) drug use consent form instead of a power of attorney or informed consent form, and you need to pay the fee.

Butylphthalide is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate acute ischemic stroke. The use of butylphthalide requires the signature of family members. Due to the rapid development of medicine, many drugs and medical devices are not included in the scope of public expense (medical insurance) reimbursement in a timely manner, and the patient or the patient's family needs to pay out of pocket.

If the patient disagrees with the use, ask for other alternatives. In this case, if there are corresponding products, doctors will generally meet the patient's needs. If negotiation is not possible, the operation may have to be stopped or the method of operation may be changed.
