Compounded Drugs Drove Traditional Trend: Unit cost for traditional drugs jumped to 6.5% in 2014, compared with 1.9% in 2013. For the first time, Express Scripts included a separate Compounded Drug category. In 2014, unit cost for these products rose by an astounding 128.2%. Excluding compounded drugs, traditional drugs’ unit cost would have risen by only 2.4% and traditional trend would have been 2.3%. Previous drug trend reports didn’t discuss these products. In fact, the words compounded drug didn’t even appear in last year’s report.
