Attorney General Spitzer said about the site, " Every month, on this site, we will post prices of 25 commonly prescribed drugs at certain pharmacies in various counties across the state. Even if your medication or your pharmacy is not surveyed and listed on this site in any particular month, this site may be helpful to you. For example, if you see a lower price for one of your medications than what your pharmacy is charging you, you may want to ask your pharmacy if they will match the lower price. Or, if you see the differences in drug prices between pharmacies, you may decide to survey prices for your medications among pharmacies in your area."

More than 5.6 million New Yorkers lack health insurance at some point in a year and may have had to pay the full price for their medications out of their own pockets. Additionally, many New Yorkers with insurance lack adequate coverage for prescription drugs and must buy them at full price. If you are one of these New Yorkers or a care giver for one of them, this site may help you.
