Investigation of pharmacies' dispense practice

Summary

The purpose of the present investigation is to shed light on the variations in pharmaceutical companies’ market shares at individual pharmacies and to investigate whether these differences mean that the dispense practice is inappropriate or expensive. To the extent possible it is uncovered whether some pharmacies prefer products from certain companies or certain types of products. It is also calculated how large an additional expenditure the existing dispense practice causes for public authorities and consumers.
