title: [Analysis of the activities of the Information Service of the National Institute for Drug Control].
abstract: An analysis was carried out concerning the questions regarding drug information solved by the information service section of the State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) in 1992-1995. A rapid decrease in the number of questions was observed during the period under study. This trend was mainly caused by a decline in questions regarding the availability of drugs in the market. Questions were posed in a similar ratio by physicians and pharmacists predominantly from Prague and surrounding areas. Questions from other categories of health-care professionals and the lay public are in minority. Most questions focus on the characteristic of the drug and its availability. AISLP, Martindale and Rote Liste serve as the principal information sources.
