An analysis of still unpublished sales statistics shows that during 1976-1983 the annual sales of all analgesic package units remained relatively stable (about 115 million units per year), while the consumption of large packings mostly preferred by analgesic abusers increased from 8.13 to 11.28 million (units of 100 tablets). The annual per capita consumption of analgesic substances (1983) was 18.2 g. Among these, drugs containing salicylate and phenazone headed the list, whereas phenacetin consumption is increasingly on the downgrade (0.87 g per capita). 95% of all analgesics are used outside of the clinics. Furthermore, 80% of them are purchased on the prescription-free market. High consumption of analgesics can be assumed in 5% of the normal population. Analgesic abuse is more prevalent in women, especially in some industrial areas.
一项对仍未公布的销售统计数据的分析表明，在1976年至1983年期间，所有镇痛剂包装单位的年销售量保持相对稳定（每年约1.15亿单位），而镇痛剂滥用者大多偏好的大包装的消费量从813万（100片装）增至1128万。1983年镇痛物质的人均年消费量为18.2克。其中，含水杨酸盐和非那宗的药物位居榜首，而对乙酰氨基酚的消费量则日益下降（人均0.87克）。所有镇痛药的95%在诊所外使用。此外，其中80%是在无处方市场购买的。正常人群中有5%的人镇痛药消费量较高。镇痛药滥用在女性中更为普遍，尤其是在一些工业区。
