My name is Zach Z. I am in the last stage of a PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree at the University of Minnesota. I started this blog and my website, savemoneyonprescriptions.googlepages.com, to help people save money on their prescriptions drugs. As we all know, the costs of prescriptions in our country have been rising every year and consumers are paying a higher percentage of the total cost. And here lies the problem...
We rely so much (and rightly so I would argue) on drugs to keep us alive and healthy, yet few people know how much they costs and what options are available to them. When a doctor writes your prescription they are usually not aware of the price. They maybe picking a drug based on their personal experience, what drug rep. saw them last, or what name they can remember easiest. Hopefully your insurance will cover it...but if its expensive they probably won't, or charge you a higher co-pay. But it's what the doctor ordered, right? There are many cheaper options for the majority of prescriptions, but how can you tell? That's what I want this blog and website to be about. So...let's get started....
