What the source says
The use of prescription medicines in the U.S. — based on defined daily doses — has grown 13% in the last five years to 210 billion days of therapy across both retail and non‑retail settings, although growth slowed beginning in 2024.
Checked: the figure 13% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
