That includes the approval of "innovative" drugs like Tryvio for high blood pressure, Neffy for severe allergic reactions and Dupixent for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which all gained FDA approval this year.

These medications are "slated to make a big clinical impact for those who need them," according to GoodRx, a California-based digital health care platform.

In a disclaimer, GoodRx noted that the list was created by prioritizing "first-in-class medications and vaccines that are expected to have a significant impact on human health."

"This was defined as either the number of lives touched or the expected degree of impact for future medication recipients," the company wrote.

"We also prioritized medications with effectiveness or safety data that represent a notable advantage over other medications recommended by clinical treatment guidelines or mainstay medical organizations."
