Nevada: This is the Most Prescribed Medicine in the State
Pretty much everyone in America is or has been on a prescription medication at some point in their lives. So, which prescription mediations are the most prescribed in Nevada? It’s an interesting list.
SingleCare has put out a study naming the most popular prescription drugs in America. “In 2022, SingleCare provided discounts on the prescriptions that people need across the United States for a variety of chronic and acute conditions, from anxiety and asthma to ADHD and erectile dysfunction,” they state.
What’s crazy is that more than 20 states have the same No. 1 Rx. It’s not what you might expect, either. It’s vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. I’m shocked, because to me, vitamin D isn’t really a medicine. According to SingleCare, “About 42% of Americans are deficient in the essential vitamin. Responsible for keeping our bones strong and our immune systems robust, vitamin D mostly comes through our diet and sunlight. It’s so important to our health, providers often prescribe the supplement when levels are low.” It sounds like a very important vitamin to consume.

So, which mediation is No. 1 in Nevada? It’s a very common one: Ibuprofen (Advil). “If you’ve ever had a headache, sore throat, or pulled muscle, you’ve probably reached for a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (Advil),” SingleCare states. “Available over-the-counter as 200 mg tablets or liquid gels, ibuprofen is commonly used to relieve minor aches and pains and reduce fevers, says Dr. Soliman. It’s also available by prescription in doses of 400 mg, 600 mg, and 800 mg, and can also be used to treat conditions like arthritis and menstrual pain.” I’m surprised that more states don’t have Ibuprofen as their top drug, seeing that it’s so common. But, it appears Nevada is the only state. Find the full list of the most popular medications in America here.
