Characteristics of Adults Aged 18-64 Who Did Not Take Medication as Prescribed to Reduce Costs: United States, 2021.
About 60% of adults aged 18 and over reported taking at least one prescription medication in 2021, with 36% reporting taking three or more (1). Out-ofpocket costs on retail drugs rose 4.8% to $63 billion in 2021 (2). High costs may limit individuals' access to medications and lead to people not taking medication as prescribed (3,4); this may result in more serious illness and require additional treatment (5). This report examines the characteristics of adults aged 18-64 who took prescription medication in the past 12 months and did not take medication as prescribed due to cost. Cost-saving measures included skipping doses, taking less medication than prescribed, or delaying filling a prescription.
