`meps_drug_use`

Pack: meps · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/meps/mcp

National prescription volume and spending for one drug: how many Americans filled it, how many fills, total spend across all payers and how much patients paid out of pocket. Population-wide rather than a single programme, so it answers how widely used a medicine is in the US and what share of its cost falls on patients.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`drug`	string	yes	Generic drug name, e.g. “atorvastatin”.
`year`	number	no	Survey year. Defaults to the most recent loaded.
