METHODS: We used sales data from the Moroccan subsidiary of IMS Health Intercontinental Marketing Service. RESULTS: Consumption of generic antihypertensive drugs increased from 0.08 to 10.65 DDD/1 000 inhabitants/day between 1991 and 2010.

The generics market of CCBs is the most dominant and represented in 2010, 79.21% in volume and 62.58% in value. CONCLUSION: In developing countries like Morocco, the generic drug is a key element for access to treatment especially for the poor population.
