I'm sorry, but I do not have any information on what the total number is, due to the fact that it is actually very dynamic. It can change, at any given time, as new medications are approved, old ones are discontinued and new generics become available.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Bruce, you can research the top 200, as Donna suggested. That list shows the most commonly prescribed.

However, as I said, there is no real total, or approximation to give otherwise. There are literally thousands of medications available.
