    BackgroundTo evaluate the evolution of consumption of antihypertensive drugs generic among 1991-2010, to assess the impacts after the institution of Mandatory Health Insurance and the marketing of generic drugs.MethodsWe used sales data from the Moroccan subsidiary of IMS Health Intercontinental Marketing Service.ResultsConsumption of generic antihypertensive drugs increased from 0.08 to 10.65 DDD/1 000 inhabitants/day between 1991 and 2010. In 2010, generic of the calcium channel blockers (CCBs) represented 4.08 DDD/1 000 inhabitants/day (82.09%), followed by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) by 2.40 DDD/1 000 inhabitants/day (48.29%). The generics market of CCBs is the most dominant and represented in 2010, 79.21% in volume and 62.58% in value.ConclusionIn developing countries like Morocco, the generic drug is a key element for access to treatment especially for the poor population.© 2013 Société Française de Pharmacologie et de Thérapeutique.
