Abstract
In a cross sectional study, we analysed all prescriptions (n=962 013) involving two or more drugs dispensed to the Swedish population (n=7 214 509; age range 15-95) from all Swedish pharmacies (n=885) in January 1999. The data were taken from the Swedish healthcare database on pharmaceutical agents, which records all prescriptions dispensed at all of the pharmacies in Sweden. Strict registration routines and internal controls support the accuracy of the database.Keywords
