Dear Jamie,
If u r talking about the most prescribed drugs in the U.S. few pharmacy
publications (I think including Drug Topics) publish annually list of most
prescribed drugs. If u have access to IMS data it also lists the most
prescribed drugs. Finally there is a web site
http://www.rxlist.com/top200.htm which also lists the top 200 drugs. I
have no idea about their criteria of selecting 200 drugs probably by
prescription volume. Re the most prescribed drugs in the world: SCRIP
World Pharmaceutical News - the international pharmaceutical industry
trade publication lists the drugs. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
