What Are the Top 250 Drugs?
Particularly in colleges of pharmacy, students commonly memorize basic facts for the “top 200 drugs” or “top 300 drugs” to focus on the most commonly prescribed medications. Although thousands of medications are available in the US market, more than 90% of all prescribed medications are from the top 200 medications.
This course focuses on the top 250 most prescribed medications in the United States. Although the list of medications has slight changes each year, most medications that are designated as a “top drug” remain on the list for many years. More information about this list is available via the ClinCalc DrugStats project.

Love the slides and explanations. Great counseling points. Not too overwhelming.
Shannon K.
It made the mechanisms of action so much more clear! I found pharmacology using huge, complicated text books extremely difficult but your videos allowed me to not only remember more of it, but actually to really understand it for the first time and I’ve been practicing for close to two decades!
Sandra O.
