CMS Medicaid utilization
Medicaid dispensing volume
Prescriptions dispensed under Medicaid nationwide, every quarter for the past ten years - the closest public read on how much of each drug the US actually uses.
CMS State Drug Utilization Data, fee-for-service and managed care combined, summed across every state and every drug on file. The most recent quarter is provisional - states are still submitting. Per-drug volume sits on each market and drug page.
One page per drug. One page per company.
Everything cross-linked: from any drug to its makers, from any maker to its drugs.

How Pillstats works
Public data, linked
Weekly ETL from openFDA's NDC directory, CMS NADAC pricing, FDA shortage & enforcement feeds, and CMS Medicaid utilization.
Entities, resolved
Labeler name variants are merged into canonical manufacturers, so "Walgreens Co" and "Walgreens" are one company - not two.
Change, surfaced
Marketing end-dates become exit events; shortage feeds become timelines; price moves become trends you can cite.
Pillstats answers the question pharmacies, hospitals, analysts, and journalists keep asking: who actually makes this drug, and how fragile is its supply? Every FDA-registered drug concept gets a page linking its active manufacturers, its NADAC price history, its shortage record, and its therapeutic class - so a single supplier exit or price spike is visible in context, not buried in a PDF.
All pricing shown is the CMS National Average Drug Acquisition Cost - a published benchmark of pharmacy acquisition cost, not a retail quote. Sources and entity-resolution rules are documented on the methodology page. Pillstats is a professional reference, not medical advice.
