AyearafterMerck'swithdrawalofitsarthritismedicineVioxxledtoanindustrywidecredibilitycrisis,theFoodandDrugAdministrationisblockingnewmedicinesthatmightpreviouslyhavepassedmuster.Doctorsarewritingfewerprescriptionsforantidepressantsandotherdrugswhosesafetyhasbeenchallenged,likehormonereplacementtherapiesforwomeninmenopause.

Meanwhile,insurersandsomestatesaretakingadvantageofthebacklashagainsttheindustrytotryshiftingpatientstoolder,genericdrugs,arguingthattheyworkaswellasnewerandmoreexpensivebrandedmedicines.Overall,prescriptionscontinuetoriseslightly,butanincreasingshareofprescriptionsaregoingtogenericdrugs.Also,consumersseemtobelessresponsivetoaggressivedrugmarketing.
