To clarify, I just Googled for: what percent of american adults are on prescription drugs?
I got back from "AI Overview": Approximately 64.8% of adults in the United States report taking prescription medication at some point in the past 12 months. This figure is based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The key phrase here is "at some point". I guess a huge amount of it is a very short 1-3 week dose of antibiotics.
