Summary

As the scope of available drug therapies expands, spending on prescription drugs has become the fastest-growing category of total spending on health care in the United States. Recently, that growth has slowed and that slowdown reflects changes in both the supply and demand for prescription drugs. This book examines the innovation, development and complexity issues present in the pharmaceutical industry.
