Inventor Leo Sternbach Turns 95 Years Old

Roche today commemorates the 40th anniversary of Valium(R) (diazepam) Tablets, the nation's most prescribed drug between 1969 and 1982. Discovered by Roche scientist Leo Sternbach, who recently turned 95 years old, and approved by the FDA in 1963, Valium was one of the first blockbuster medications in the pharmaceutical industry. Valium is indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety.

Any idea what the most prescribed drug on the market is today?
