Prescription Numbers To Consider

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

While you are pointing fingers at our health care, consider this:

1/3 of all prescriptions by a doctor ever get filled…which means that

2/3 of all people who get prescriptions never even go to the pharmacy

Of the 1/3 of people who get their prescriptions filled…

Only 1/3 will take it as directed

Which means that

1/9 of all prescriptions are getting filled and taken as directed.
