These are detailed results con- cerning the use of analgesics, their types, and routes of administration. It was observed that the prevalence of analgesic use has significantly increased, with diclofenac being the most dominant. The results are presented in graphs, each accompanied by comments explaining their content. Conclusions – From the results of this study, it can be observed that the use of narcotic analgesics has significantly decreased.
