For many years the idea of allowing prescription medications to be imported from other countries has been in the news as a potential solution to the ever increasing costs for American consumers.  As the push for healthcare reform takes center stage over the next few weeks, it may resurface and be presented as a solution once again.  But there is more than meets the eye in this debate!  Lets take a look at a couple of considerations.

Many people often wonder why the same prescription drug sold in many foreign countries can be so much cheaper than it is when bought in the United States.  There are a few reasons, but the major reason is due to the process it must go through in the U.S. to get approval by the Food and Drug Administration.  To quickly many consumers give this a bad rap, charging an increase in costs for the same product.  But the safety measures the FDA takes are in many ways invaluable!  Afterall, your safety and the safety of loved ones is what ultimatley matters.

When you go to the pharmacy, you have access not only to medications but to healthcare professionals who are trained very well to help guide you.  At Rx Savings Solutions, we believe there are many ways to reduce your prescription drug costs, but importation of non-regulated medications is not one of them!  This country is blessed with many resources, and our healthcare system ranks high on the list.  And although it is far from perfect, outsourcing isn’t the answer.  Let the team at Rx Savings Solutions help you reduce medication costs without compromising your health!
