title: [Prescriptions of benzodiazepines in the municipality of Nykøbing Falster. A study of prescriptions with reference to prescription habits in general practice].
abstract: An investigation of general practitioners' patterns of prescribing benzodiazepines has been carried out in Nykøbing Falster county. The results are in accordance with other such investigations, and show that women are given such prescriptions twice as often as men, and that the consumption increases with age. The doctors' prescription practices are seen to vary, and the results also demonstrate that the general recommendations regarding use of benzodiazepines are not followed by the prescribing doctors.
