CANOGA PARK, Calif. - Oct. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- 13.1% was the Drug Spend increase in the United States in 2014 alone, according to the ESI 2014 Drug Trend Report.  This is the largest annual Drug Spend increase in over a decade.

Although they comprised only 1% of all prescriptions filled in the United States in 2014, Specialty Medication prescriptions represented 31.8% of all Drug Spend.
