  • Drug expenditure growth moderated, increasing by 8.7% from 2003-2004 and 8.1% in the first nine months of 2005.
  • Moderation attributed to increased generic drug availability, higher consumer cost-sharing, and fewer blockbuster drugs.
  • Projected slower growth in 2006 due to patent expirations and safety concerns impacting new drug adoption.

Conclusions:

  • Forecasting and managing drug expenditures remains challenging.
  • Pharmacy managers need proactive strategies for efficient drug utilization.
  • The dynamic health policy environment necessitates careful consideration in drug budgeting.
