Prescription
drugs can be expensive, even if you have insurance coverage. But there
are medicines that can effectively meet your medical needs and give you
better value for your health care dollar.
Consumer
Reports Best Buy Drugs is a free public education service from the
nonprofit Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports. Millions of Americans
trust Consumer Reports to provide expert, independent information about
products and services, and to help them save money.
The information
on the website can help you learn about more affordable drug treatment
options to discuss with your physician. Consumers Union works with respected
doctors and pharmacists to compare drugs and point you to those that are
proven to work based on current scientific evidence. In concise, easy-to-read
reports, they tell you what you need to know about the effectiveness, safety
and cost of many widely used prescription drugs.
Consumers
Union accepts no outside advertising and no free test samples. It has no
agenda other than to promote and protect the interests of consumers. Consumers
Union’s revenue comes from the sale of information products and services,
individual contributions, and a few educational grants.
Consumer
Reports Best Buy Drugs is funded largely from such grants. Consumers Union
is governed by a board of 18 directors who are elected by CU members and
meet three times a year.
