Study: Patients Can Save on Prescription Drugs Online

Turns out it might be worth shopping online for prescription drugs. According to a new study, research showed that patients could save if they buy drugs through online pharmacy discount programs instead of through traditional insurance plans. Researchers at the University of Toledo Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Ohio looked at 20 generic drugs and found at least one out of five were cheaper through Amazon or good Rx discount card programs. The study looked at people on Medicare, private health insurance and the uninsured and the research was published yesterday in the journal Annas of internal medicine. Head of the study, of course, interesting given how high the price of prescription drugs can cost here in the US.
