The Use of

Medicines in the
United States:
Review of 2010

April 2011

Report by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics

when adjusted for economic and population growth, spending grew by less

declined in the case of injectables and infusables.
A number of factors contributed to this comparatively and historically low
growth, including fewer patient visits to doctors’ offices, patent expiries for IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics
