Slash Costs Fast How to Compare Prescription Prices

The Role of Generic Drugs

Switching to generic drugs is another effective strategy for reducing prescription costs. Generic drugs are chemically identical to their brand-name counterparts but are typically sold at a lower price. According to the FDA, generic drugs can cost up to 85% less than brand-name drugs⁵. Ask your healthcare provider if a generic version of your medication is available and appropriate for your treatment.
