The Danish Medicines Agency prepares statistics and analyses on the sale of medicines in Denmark.
The purpose is to monitor the sale and price development of medicines in Denmark, so strengthening the health authorities' management and planning of the pharmaceutical and pharmacy area.
Where are data sourced from?
The statistics and analyses are based on information from the Register of Medicinal Product Statistics of the Danish Medicines Agency, which contains data on the total sales of drugs in Denmark.
The information in the register is derived from Danish community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and the Danish State Serum Institute, which register any dispatch or delivery of medicines in Denmark.
Since 1 October 2001, new distributors selling over-the-counter medicines have also reported their sales to the register.
Annual statistics on the total sales of medicines on medstat.dk
The website www.medstat.dk delivers annual statistics on the total sales of medicines in Denmark.
Linking of drug consumption data with other data
If you want to link drug consumption data with your own data or other national registers, this is done via Statistics Denmark.
The website www.dst.dk/HomeUK/ForSale/Research.aspx gives you information about the services and data offered by Statistics Denmark. A more detailed description is available in Danish at www.dst.dk/forskning.
Not all of our statistics and analyses are translated into English.
