- Definition
- The amounts of opioid/analgesics distributed legally in a country for medical purposes to those institutions and programs that are licensed to dispense to patients, such as hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, hospices and palliative care programs. In international drug control terminology, consumption does not refer to the amounts dispensed to or used by patients, but rather amounts distributed to the retail level.
