E-drug: Russian drug: Allocholum (cont)
---------------------------------------------
Dear Bella,
Unfortunately I've lost the beginning of this discussion, but this
problem -I am bearing in mind "keeping drug use habits" - is of my greatest
interest.
Allocholum is in TOP 25 most commonly used drugs in Russia (by units) in
1999.
Please can you be so kind to share with me your data on top using drugs
in Russian community in Australia. I think it could be also interesting to
know what kind of drugs remained in use (strong habit), what duplicate
existing in Australia with the same indications and what is the tendency for
remaining of this habit (how long are "native" drugs have there
priorities in use for self-medication and self-care).
As a reference please receive a list of TOP 25 drugs most commonly used
drugs in Russia (by units) in 1999
