In the 2022-23 viral season, the height of RSV infections began atypically early in October and November, and the 2023-24 season appears to be following the same path. Between Oct. 7 and Nov. 11, the fill rate of antibiotics increased from 1.04% to 1.51%, according to GoodRx. In early 2023, antibiotic fill rates peaked at 1.56% and 1.61%.
The percentages are the amount of oral solution antibiotic scripts over the total number of all fills in the same period.
In comparison, the uptake of COVID-19 and flu medications is following a path similar to past years, according to GoodRx’s tracker.
