Sažetak
Statins are drugs used to prevent cardiovascular diseases and the importance of collecting data on statins consumption is in correlation with the improvement on cardiovascular diseases therapy. Data on consumption were collected and processed and the usage in the period 2005-2008 was processed by the DDD/1000inh/day ATC classification, and analyzed according to the financial indicators. In the period, 2005-2008 all statins obtained in the Croatian market showed a continuous increase in DDD/1000inh/day as well as in financial costs. For the entire period, atorvastatin and simvastatin were the most prescribed drugs. The overall consumption of statins in Croatia (35-67x DDD/1000inh/day) is lower than in EU and other Western countries, where a consumption of statins is about 80-200 DDD/1000inh/day.
