SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from IMS Health’s National Sales Perspectives. NOTES The red line denotes spending and relates to the left-hand y axis. The blue line denotes use and relates to the right-hand y axis. Extended units measure the number of single items (such as vials, syringes, bottles, or packets of tablets or capsules) that are contained in a shipping package purchased by providers and pharmacies. For example, a package containing a month’s supply of an oral drug is considered to be one extended unit.
