Sažetak
In relation to the symposium theme of this Congress „Drug regulation”, we have examined the outliers within the drug consumption in Croatia in the last five years. This consideration gives an extensive insight into drug utilization, as an economic and a public health issue, thus detecting the possible specifics of consumption. Our target is to investigate the utilization tendencies of drugs in Croatia during the period 2017 - 2021, thus focusing on the drugs with references that are outside the usual consumption tendencies. The most expended drugs in the period 2017-2021 were Antineoplastic agents, Immunosuppressant drugs, Drugs used in diabetes and Psycholeptics. The utilization of Antineoplastic drugs (L01) indicate a huge increase of more than three times in the period 2017 to 2021. During the period 2017-2021, the majority of the drugs had moderate increase of consumption. The utilization of drugs for cancer therapy increased continuously and significantly. The biggest expenditure is noticed in Antineoplastic agents group, which includes the most of new, efficient, specific and, after all, expensive drugs.
