“…En Argentina, un estudio realizado en la ciudad de Rosario, que evaluó el consumo de benzodiacepinas en una región metropolitana de dicha ciudad, mostró un valor de DHD de 82,92 en el año 2007 (13) . Otro realizado en 2020-2021, en mayores de 18 años de un seguro de salud nacional, halló un consumo global de BZD-Z de 77,6 DHD (14) .
