Pharmaceuticals being prescription medications and Consumer health being OTC and nutritional products. Thanks.

I'd go with Pharmaceuticals as there is more money.

Isn't it amazing how medicine has devolved into pure guess work?\n\nI remember a time when doctors actually did tests before prescribing drugs.  But at least Dr. Quack got his cortisone sales quota for the day!

I used to work in a pharmacy & this was a never-ending debate with customers!  Whether it was Over-The-Counter medications or prescriptions there was always a group of people who wanted the brand name, regardless of the price difference.  A lot of them said "This is what my doctor told me to get/prescribed to me" & you could not talk them out of it.  Personally, I have always bought generic/store brands!

(My GP has been taking 2000mg of Vitamin C daily for 20yrs and claims he has never had he flu since.)\nMany others believe supplements aid in many health issues today in comparison to the  "caveman the era" where we ate more fruits,vegetation and pure proteins,not needing supplements.The major claim is, supplements help! Yet the rich pharmaceutical companies have no real economic interest in the investment of research and development of Vitamins & Minerals because it doesn't pay enough.Just like the subject of Global warming...oil & car co. are filthy rich now..so what should they care about tomorrow.

I work for a health insurance company, so hearing that name makes me think of either a company that wholesales naturopathic medicines or a company dealing with holistic services.

Prescription drugs have to go through a study...just like that...before any rational doctor will precribe them and before the FDA will even approve them!

People are using drugs everyday. Caffeine is a drug, Nicotine is a drug, prescription anti-depressants are drugs... Some drugs are worse than others, I agree, but let everyone learn from their own mistakes.

Unfortunately this is going on in the US right now which to me is a farce-  They should be obligated to fill any type of prescription, no matter what it is.  If I am not mistaken this has mostly gone on in Walmarts around the country.  Unfortunately this goes on in the nursing field also- I have seen nurses refusing to care for someone who just went through an abortion procedure in the hospital.

The Medicaid Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics Committee comes up with the formulary.  Their decisions are reviewed by the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Pharmacy.\nhttp://www.hfs.illinois.gov/preferred/

There is no way of knowing how many people are on prescription drugs.  That's like asking how many people drink water.  Doctors don't report to any agency about prescribing drugs.  Pharmacy's don't report the sale of drugs.  Your question can't be answered.

33 yo female student RN.\nHuge...advertising, and of course, the reps in the healthcare setting that push their drugs for increased sale purposes. It is the doctors that ultimately decide what to give patients, and the patients who ultimately decide to take the drug. When you say health? Are you speaking of wellness or illness?
