Drug Topics * Very often
students seek statistics on the use or sales of prescription
drugs.
Once a year, a marketing firm, IMS America, does a National
Prescription Audit, sampling the number of prescriptions per drug.
Some of the results can be found on the Drug Topics site,
a pharmacy trade magazine.
Its "Pharmacy Facts and Figures" lists
the top 200 brand-name and genetic drugs, both by number of prescriptions
and by retail sales.
