Top pharma products by prescriptions U.S. 2019

With 118 million dispensed prescriptions, atorvastatin was the most prescribed medicine in the United States in 2019. Atorvastatin is a medicine used to help lower cholesterol and can also be taken to prevent heart disease. The number of prescriptions issued for the drug increased by four million between 2018 and 2019.

Top therapeutic classes and products

There were 663 million prescriptions written for antihypertensive drugs in 2019, making it the therapeutic category with the most dispensed prescriptions in the United States. Approximately 66.7 billion U.S. dollars was spent on antidiabetics in the United States in 2019, making it the therapy area where the second most money was spent. Humira – a branded drug used to treat arthritis – was the top medicine based on sales in the United States, generating around 21 billion U.S. dollars in 2019.

More than 500 billion U.S. dollars was spent on medicines in the United States in 2019. The majority of the population of the United States has health insurance, which includes prescription drug coverage.

When this happens, patients may have to pay the full price of the medication, leaving many people out of pocket.
