Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
En comparant les données concernant les stocks, la production, l'exportation et l'importation des benzodiazépines, et les quantités vendues par l'industrie et les pharmacies on déduit qu'il existe un important trafic de Bzd au Brésil.
ENGLISH :
This work investigates consumption of benzodiazepines in Brazil during the years 1988 and 1989, using the following sources of information (a) benzodiazepine stocks recorded at the beginning and end of each year ; (b) Brazilian (internal) production of benzodiazepines ; (c) imported and exported amounts of benzodiazepines ; (d) amounts employed in the manufacture of brand-name products and in the making of prescription formulas. The records a, b and c furnished the 'calculated consumption'. The d records, directly furnished the 'informed consumption'. The data obtained were also expressed in terms of defined daily doses (DDDs)/1,000 inhabitants/day. As for the DDDs/1,000 inhabitants /day, they were found to be 23.03 and 18.48 for the years 1988 and 1989, respectively. A striking discrepancy was detected between the calculated and the informed consumption figures. Such results may suggest that an illicit, unrecorded trade of benzodiazepines is occurring in Brazil.
