Drug Consumption in Norway
A statistical presentation of the drug consump-
tion in Norway based on total sales data from
the wholesalers to pharmacies and hospitals. The
statistical material is sorted according to the ATC
classification system, and Defined Daily Doses
are employed as units of measurements.
The parts containing statistics for each main ATC
group are only partly translated into English. An
extended use of ATC codes for all the substances
included should however increase the compre-
hension for foreign readers.
The site is based on the publication Drug Consumption in Norway 1998-2002.
The
figures are prepared and published by the department of
pharmacoepidemiology,
Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
