Methodology:

Data collected: socio-demographic data, diagnostics and prescribed medications. Medications and diagnoses were classified according to the anatomical Therapeutic Chemical and International Disease classifications, respectively.

Results (%):

Sex: F (60), M (39). Age (years): 0-15 (6.4), 16-65 (85), over 65 (6). The most prescribed pharmacological groups were: benzodiazepines (18.9), antipsychotics (9.2) and antidepressants (8). Diagnoses: mental and behavioral disorders (63); nervous system diseases (12); diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (8); symptoms, signs and clinical and laboratory findings, not classified elsewhere (4,5).
