The importance of the penicillins as a class of heterocyclic compounds derives primarily from their effectiveness in the treatment of bacterial infections in mammals (especially humans). It has been estimated that, in 1980, the worldwide production of antibiotics was 25 000 tons and, of this, approximately 17 000 tons were penicillins (81MI51103). The Food and Drug Administration has estimated that, in 1979 in the U.S.A., 30.1 x 10 prescriptions of penicillin V and 44.3 x 10 prescriptions of ampicillin/amoxicillin were dispensed. This level of usage indicates that, compared to other methods of dealing with bacterial infection, the cost-benefit properties of penicillin therapy are particularly favorable. Stated differently, penicillin treatment leads to the elimination of the pathogen in a relatively high percentage of cases of bacterial infection at a relatively low cost to the patient in terms of toxic reactions and financial resources.

Costs to the patient and costs of individual products are variable but may be substantial. An epidemiological study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients found that patients spent an average of 18 per month on herbs (range, 0-175) [46]. Unfortunately most U.S. prescription insurance companies do not cover the cost of dietary supplements. One exception is the American Western Life Insurance Company, San Mateo, California, which offers their subscribers a Prevention Plus option that covers herbal medicines [34]. In Germany, herbs that are prescribed by physicians are covered by insurance, whereas non-prescription herbs are not covered [34].
