Medical dispensation in La Rioja, Spain: epidemiology and its relationship with social determinants: a descriptive study
Medication dispensation patterns in La Rioja mirror broader national and EU trends, with PPIs and propionic acid derivatives leading. Gender, age, geographic zone, and socioeconomic status are associated with distinct dispensation profiles. Targeted public health strategies should consider these determinants to optimize rational medication use and equity in access.
