All data in the National Prescribed Drug Register come from the Swedish eHealth Agency. All retailers selling pharmaceuticals are obliged to report sales data to the Swedish eHealth Agency.

The eHealth Agency, in turn, submits data on dispensed prescriptions to the National Board of Health and Welfare.
