Summary:

       The survey included 3807 records (vouchers for therapeutic and orthopedic requisites) from five pharmacies of the basic type within six months. Health requisites were prescribed and issued to 1337 patients in a total number of 14 431 items, which represents 290 different kinds (codes) of health requisites. The most frequently prescribed items included: dressing materials, aids for incontinence, and requisites for diabetic patients. Health requisites prescribed in vouchers are dispensed to patients of all age categories, most of them being older than 50 years of age. The diagnoses, for which the health requisites are prescribed, are typical of the individual age categories: to 30 years of age they are primarily respiratory and allergic problems and accidents, after 30 years of age it is venous insufficiency, and after 50 years of age various types of incontinence prevail. The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is found in all age categories. It follows from the trend of ageing of the population that dispensation of health requirements in pharmacies will be increased.

        Key words: health requisites – prescription – patient – diagnosis – age
