This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the risk minimisation measures issued by the European Medicines Agency in 2014 to restrict the combined use of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) agents in Denmark. Data from the Danish National Prescription Registry covering all medications dispensed during January 2008-December 2018 was used. The outcome was monthly prevalence of patients co-dispensed RAS-acting agents. Autoregressive integrated moving average interrupted time series regression was used to evaluate dispensing trends. The prevalence of patients co-dispensed RAS-acting agents decreased from 0.01.0003intervention trend was declining and further decreased with an additional -0.45 (950.66, -0.25) co-dispensing per million population after the intervention. Overall, the intervention had minimal impact on the combined use of RAS-acting agents. However, as the combined use of RAS-acting agents is low, further interventions to restrict the combined use of RAS-acting agents may not be required in Denmark at this point.
