E-DRUG: Pill usage statistics (contd)
-------------------------------------

Dear Stephen:

I cant' tell you where to get exactly what you want but some relative
figures are available in a book entitled "The World's Pharmaceutical
Industries" by Robert Ballance, Janos Pogany, Helmut Forstner ISBN 1 85278
646 9. The two tables that are the closest to your request are: Table 2.3
World consumption of pharmaceutical preparations: regional shares and
average per capita consumption, 1975 and 1990 and Figure 2.1 Relative
prices and per capita consumption of pharmaceutical preparations in current
dollars, 1983.
