Does anybody know when the 2010 top 200 drugs list will be out??? I'm trying to study for the PTCB and getting very confused over the top 200 drugs that I find on the internet and in my book, because the lists are SO DIFFERENT!!! ## I have to tell you, I searched google as well as other databases and haven't come across a list for 2010 either. There only seems to be the previous 2009 and under list available to the public. I find it interesting though how the 2008 and 2009 list were both published around May the following year on the various sites I have checked. Maybe the 2010 list is due around this time frame as well? I suppose we can only wait and find out as it is bound to come out sooner or later. I will be sure to post back if I come across anything in the meantime.

Top 200 drugs brand and generic for 2010 ## I cannot give you the list for 2010, because such information is not compile until the year is over. There is no way of knowing what the top sellers will be in any given year, until the year has ended and they can add up the data. 2009 and other years, however, are readily available. Is this for a school assignment? ## ims details ## yes ## ready ## What is the Generic name for Avodart?

I need an updated list of the top 100 prescription medications for 2009. ## I'm sorry, but it is only January, so it doesn't seem the updated list for 2009 has been released, yet. I can only find listings of the flashcards that were for sale to study this list during 2009 and the list that used the sales/prescription data from 2008. That said, here's that list: Please note, the first number is sales ranking, the number in parentheses is how many spots it moved since the prior year, then the drug name, then the $ amount of retail sales and the percentage of change in the units sold since 2007. Lipitor 5,880,128 -4.6% 2 Nexium 4,794,450 10.1% 3 (2) Plavix 3,796,221 23.1% 4 (1) Advair Diskus 3,572,473 5.4% 5 (1) Prevacid 3,295,465 -0.6% 6 (1) Seroquel 2,908,971 15.5% 7 (1) Sing...

What is the current total number of brand name drugs and generic drugs on the FDA's approved list? ## 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? ## I understand that the list changes frequently. I would like to know the approximate number of drugs on the list. ## Working in pharmacy,we call these the top 200. They are listed by most popular.I hope this helps. ## 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 ...

List of the 10 most common prescribed anticoagulant medications. Please incude generic and brand names on the list. ## I haven't been able to find a specific list just for the anticoagulants. I think what you'd need to do is comb through the top 200 drugs list that released each year. So, on that not, what year are you looking for information on? Because it can be dynamic and change from year to year. Learn more anticoagulant details here.

What medications are the most prescribed anxiolytics? Is there a list I can refer to? I am also interested in the differences in prescribing between countries. Any ideas Verwon? ## Hmmm.....I'm thinking. Usually, prescription drug sales are broken down by year, so I think you'd really have to look at one of the top 100 or top 200 lists and then just comb through for the ones used for anxiety. All of the relevant lists for 2011 are up by now, it will be a long time before any for 2012 are available, so I'd suggest starting with the 2011 top prescribed drugs lists. As to how to sort by country and find the differences there, I'm sorry, but I am not aware of a way to do that. Many countries don't keep records that are up to date and accurate, so it's very hard to br...

hi can u tell me how long it takes roche 5 to come out of the system ## "ROCHE VALIUM 5" is Valium (diazepam) 5 mg. The half life of this drug can range from anywhere between 20 to 100 hours. Most pharmacists suggest that after about 5 half lives, the drug will be out of your system. In the event of a drug test, a single use of Diazepam can take 7-10 days to be out of your system for a urine test; any doses more frequent than that may take up to 1-6 weeks to be out of your system for a urine test. It can 6-48 hours to be out of your system for a blood test; 1-10 days for a saliva test, and as long as 90 days to be out of your system for a hair test. I hope this info helps to answer your question!
