  BACKGROUND Interest has been shown in the use of antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. In thisarticle we present the consumption of systemic antibiotics in Norway during the period ofthe pandemic. MATERIAL AND METHOD Total sales of systemic antibiotics in defined daily doses (DDD) were retrieved from thewholesaler-based medicinal product statistics for 2019 and 2020, and sales of antibiotics foruse outside of healthcare institutions were retrieved from the Norwegian prescriptiondatabase. Information was retrieved on the proportion of users (prevalence), doses(measured in DDD) and prescriptions. RESULTS Total sales of systemic antibiotics increased in March 2020, but sales to persons outside ofhealthcare institutions did not. Compared to previous years, both total consumption anduse of antibiotics outside of institutions fell steeply in the months that followed. Thereduction was greatest for antibiotics against respiratory infections and in the youngest agegroups.INTERPRETATIONThe significant reduction in the use of systemic antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemicis attributed to infection control measures and reduced contact with the health service. In2016, the Norwegian government set a goal for a 30 % reduction in antibiotic use by the endof 2020. The pandemic has contributed to the achievement of that goal

  Most antibiotics are prescribed in primary care, and commonly for respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Narrow-spectrum phenoxymethylpenicillin is the antibiotic of choice for RTIs in the Scandinavian countries, while broader spectrum amoxicillin is used in most other European countries. This review summarizes the knowledge of the effect of phenoxymethylpenicillin versus amoxicillin for infections treated in ambulatory care. We searched PubMed/Medline and Embase for trials comparing the clinical effect of phenoxymethylpenicillin and amoxicillin. The Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services’ checklist was used to assess risk of bias. In total, 1687 studies were identified, and 18 of these fulfilled the inclusion criteria. One additional study was found as a reference. The randomized controlled trials revealed no significant differences in clinical effect in acute sinusitis (three RCTs), GAS tonsillitis (11 RCTs) and Lyme borreliosis (two RCTs). One RCT on community-acquired pneumonia found amoxicillin to be superior, while the results were conflicting in the two RCTs on acute otitis. The results suggest that non-Scandinavian countries should consider phenoxymethylpenicillin as the treatment of choice for RTIs because of its narrower spectrum. More studies should be conducted on the clinical effect of phenoxymethylpenicillin versus amoxicillin for acute otitis and lower RTIs.
