Clicking “I understand” (below, right) will take you out of ConsumerReportsHealth.org and to DestinationRx.com, a leading health and wellness comparison shopping destination on the web.

DestinationRx provides links to online pharmacies and other retailers that sell the drug you selected.  DestinationRx provides price information from these retailers, allowing consumers to make objective price comparisons and more informed drug purchasing decisions.  Consumer Reports has asked DestinationRx to sort the retailers by price, from lowest to highest, to help you choose. 

The prices shown are for prescription drugs purchased without the benefit of insurance coverage and/or pre-negotiated discounts.

Please note the following:

•  
ConsumerReports does not sell products or drugs and does not endorse any retailers who do, including any retailers on the DestinationRx.com website. We are an independent, non-profit research organization that tests and evaluates products and services.

•  
ConsumerReports has no relationship whatsoever with individual retailers or pharmacies and receives no payment from them.

•  
When you click on the button to go to DestinationRx.com, you will leave ConsumerReportsHealth.org. We have no connection to or responsibility for user actions beyond this page, and we make no representations or warranties about any specific prescription drug retailers.

•  
If you choose to link to an online retailer once on DestinationRx.com, you will go directly to that retailer’s site and will be covered only by that retailer’s privacy and security policies.

•  
DestinationRx makes every reasonable effort to verify and update the product and price information received from its online retailers. However, consumers should always check the third party sites directly since the listings on DestinationRx.com may not reflect some price changes.

•  
To purchase a prescription drug from a retailer linked to DestinationRx.com, you must have a valid, up-to-date prescription from a physician. All decisions concerning prescription drugs should be made in consultation with a licensed physician. No changes to your medications should be made without physician approval. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of all medical conditions.



Simple steps to begin using Compare Prices

To make it easier and faster for consumers to compare prescription drug prices, Consumer Reports Health now offers a free online drug price comparison service.

The Compare Prices service is provided to Consumer Reports Health visitors by special arrangement with DestinationRx.com, an established comparison-shopping website. The DestinationRx.com environment has been customized for Consumer Reports Health visitors.

To begin using Compare Prices, go to the top of this page and press the big blue button that says “I understand. Continue to DestinationRx.com!” This will take you to the main DestinationRx.com page for the specific drug you are researching, and you can then follow this simple 3-step process:


1.Select
•  
Verify the name, package, and quantity of the drug you are researching, and click Submit.

2.Compare
•  
View and compare online pharmacy prices for your drug--the lowest price is listed first.

•  
To see pricing for local retail pharmacy locations, enter your ZIP code.

•  
For both online and retail pharmacies, all prices listed are for prescription drugs purchased without the benefit of insurance coverage. If you plan to purchase a prescription drug from any of the pharmacies listed, you will need to have a valid, up-to-date prescription from a physician.

3.Shop
•  
To place an order, click on the Proceed button and follow the instructions that are provided. For local retail pharmacies, you will need to provide your name and telephone number to DestinationRx. This information, along with the Destination Rx group number and identification number, will allow the pharmacy to charge the correct price and will ensure that you enjoy the full program discounts for your prescription.

DestinationRx does not necessarily provide the lowest price for all drugs because it maintains relationships with only certain pharmacies. Consumer Reports Health encourages you to check other online pharmacies to ensure that DestinationRx has quoted you a competitive price. Once you enter a drug name and quantity in the DestinationRx.com page provided by Compare Prices, a Perspectives column on the right side of the page shows links to other sites to make it easier for you to compare prices with other online pharmacies.

What is DestinationRx’s relationship with its pharmacies?

Generally, pharmacies pay for visibility on DestinationRx.com through one of two models.

Pharmacies pay as advertisers on a per click or per time period basis – or they pay per transaction as a prescription is executed. The fees paid by pharmacies do NOT affect their position in the price rankings. Instead, pharmacies are sorted by price, from lowest to highest, based on the price they can offer for the specific drug you are researching.

In order to provide comparative scale geographic coverage, DestinationRx is currently including pharmacies in the price display from which it receives no payments. As DestinationRx is able to secure appropriate agreements with pharmacies who wish to participate, some pharmacies may be taken off the site while others may be added.

Pharmacies submit pricing to DestinationRx based on expected volumes of membership, traffic and prescriptions. Not every pharmacy necessarily provides pricing for every product available.
