Overall prescription drug use and polypharmacy

There was a significant increase in overall prescription drug use and polypharmacy among US adults between 1999 and 2012.

These increases persisted after accounting for changes in the age distribution of the population. The prevalence of prescription drug use increased in the majority of, but not all, drug classes.
