Source dataset: TVPills maintained drug catalogue (TVPills Editorial Team). The catalogue snapshot used for these figures was retrieved September 10, 2026.
Calculation: Each drug record's tvAdBudgetMillions value is treated as an estimated annual budget in millions of US dollars. Rankings sort records descending by that value; totals and group totals sum each positive record once, without weighting or extrapolating from commercial counts. Each individual amount in the rankings links to the corresponding catalogue record; grouped totals use the same record-level values.
Limitations: These values are editorial estimates, not company-reported or independently audited media-buying figures. The catalogue does not currently attach a public third-party publication to each estimate, so the figures should not be used as financial, investment, or market-size data.
Source status: Internal editorial estimate. No company filing or independent media-buying dataset is being presented as the source for these values.
