prescription drug

/in /by

Choose a prescription drug that has a generic available. Choose three different types of pharmacies. Examples:

  1. Large chain pharmacy such as Walgreens, CVS, Eckards, etc.
  2. Grocery store associate pharmacy such as Publix, Krogers, etc.
  3. Privately owned local pharmacy
  4. Pharmacy associated with a “big box” store such as Target, Walmart, etc.
  5. Online pharmacy (must be in the United States)

Do not use any drugs on the pharmacy’s four dollar or other special price list. If the pharmacy has a “club card” or other special way of getting lower cost, do not use this cost.

Compare the cash cost of the brand and the generic making sure that the dose (milligrams, micrograms, etc.) and number of pills are the same.

Example: Synthroid .05 milligrams and levothyroxine .05 milligrams, prescription for 30 pills.

For over-the-counter products, use identical products including formulation (liquid, capsules, etc.), dose (mgs per tablet, mgs per cc, etc.) and size of packaging (20 tablets in the box, 90cc fluid in the bottle, etc.). Try to avoid products that contain multiple ingredients like cold preparations as these are hard to compare due to differing quantities of ingredients within each product.

Example: Benadryl (brand) 25 mg per capsule, 25 capsules per bottle and diphenhydramine (generic) 25 mg per capsule, 25 capsules bottle.

(Make a chart using the below)

alternatives to pain relief

/in /by

 thank you for your detailed posting. As I read your posting, the one thought that keep coming to me was the importance of communication and detailed assessment.  Was it ever asked how often Patricia was taking the narcotic and how long ago did she take it?  Perhaps she has not needed a strong narcotic every day and has found other alternatives to pain relief. Perhaps she only needs it occasionally. It would be helpful if people monitored on narcotics would have an electronic sign in and out system whereby they could only get x number of doses in one day. Of course this would be expensive but may in the end save not only money but lives as well. What do you think? This way, the practitioner would have access to each patient’s pattern of use.
