Just How Many People In The U.s. Are Getting One Or More Prescription Medications Today Or At Any Given Time Throughout The Year?

Postby zacchaeus21 » Fri Jan 03, 2014 12:08 am

Do not be concerned about OTC medicines or diverse as you are able to enter the supermarket or pharcamy with no physician. I merely want to know exactly how many are receiving one particular(or even a lot more) drugs which had been approved with a medical doctor at this time. Usa only. Cheers!

This observation stems from 2001-04 data. We can only surmise that this figure has risen, since prescription medicine use is increasing. I refer you to the data table from the CDC in the source link.

At least 47% of Americans have used at least one prescription drug in the past month. This observation stems from 2001-04 data. We can only surmise that this figure has risen, since prescription medicine use is increasing. I refer you to the data table from the CDC in the source link.

do you mean drugs prescribed for a chronic problem(like anti-depressants, Birth control, blood pressure medicine) or short-term stuff, like anti-biotics? or both?
