Abstract
There are so many drugs available for use in the human condition, with continued approval of new agents, and expanded indications for existing ones (1). Likewise spending on pharmaceuticals in the United States continues to increase by 10–15% each year, driven by increased utilization as well as increased cost per prescription (1). According to a recent report, close to $141 billion of the estimated $1.4 trillion spent on health care annually in the United States are accounted for by prescription drugs (2). Beyond prescription medication, the wide availability of over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements together with the increasing emphasis on self-care among people further increases consumption patterns of pharmacologically active substances. Recent estimates are that about 80% of Americans use medication, whether prescription, OTC, or dietary supplement products (3).
