Material and method: 1407 prescriptions have been prescribed by 330 doctors providing their practice in 212 medical institutions. On the basis of these prescriptions five community pharmacies situated in Olsztyn, Elblag, Paslek and Ilawa in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship made 1407 extemporaneous preparations in 2011.

The price value of 90% of the extemporaneous preparations is within PLN 15.89 - PLN 50.00 . The price value of 10% is above PLN 50.00 including 1% over PLN 100.00.
