Information Sources:
Note: The data source (MEPS prescribed medicines file) is released annually by the U.S.
Government. This data release represents survey data from two years prior. The ClinCalc
DrugStats Database sanitizes and standardizes this data, and is typically released within a few
months of the MEPS release. There is an inherent delay in collecting the survey data (eg, in the
2017 calendar year), MEPS releasing the data from patients (August 2019), and the ClinCalc
DrugStats release (a few months later, classified as the 2020 drug list).
https://clincalc.com/DrugStats/Top200Drugs.aspx
* The list is based off total prescriptions issued in the most recent data made available by the U.S.
Government. There is always a lag time with this date, so these statistics are considered to be the
2019 list, but the rankings are from data from January to December 2017.
