28 June 2016 - This commentary discusses a survey study published in JAMA Dermatology that described the changes in the prices of commonly prescribed dermatologic drugs at national chain pharmacies over a 6-year period.

The price of prescription dermatologic drugs rose considerably from 2009 to 2015, with the vast majority of price increases occurring after 2011. Percent increases for multiple, frequently prescribed medications greatly outpaced inflation, national health expenditure growth, and increases in reimbursements for physician services.
