Abstract
Small-molecule drugs are a cost-effective way to treat and prevent disease. A study by the Slone Institute published in 2002 estimated that over 50% of the adult population in the United States used at least one pharmaceutical drug during the preceding week. The positive impact of small-molecule drugs on health care has been well documented (1,2).
