Medtipster, The Online Generic Drugs Search Engine, Introduces New Feature To Help Consumers Save

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 25, 2010 -
Troy, MI – March 25, 2010– Over 70% (Seventy Percent) of all prescription medications have a generic equivalent. The average cost difference between a single brand medication and a generic is over $100.00 (One Hundred Dollars). Nearly 30% (Thirty Percent) of all prescription medications are brands without a generic equivalent. Consumers prescribed these brand prescription medications are often forced to make a choice between economic hardship and therapy adherence.

Medtipster, the company that helps Americans instantly find generic drugs available on discount generic programs from pharmacies in their neighborhoods, has launched a new feature to solve this problem. Medtipster’s “Brand Drug Coupon Search” feature allows consumers to search for a coupon or rebate off their brand prescription medication, if a generic is unavailable.

“We created Medtipster to make it as easy as possible for consumers to learn how they can save on their prescription medications,” said Jason A. Klein, President of Medtipster. “By simply visiting Medtipster.com and entering your drug, dosage and zip code, you’re instantly provided with a list of pharmacies that offer your drug on a discount program in your neighborhood. If your drug is not a generic, our updated ‘Brand Drug Coupon search” feature will allow you to search for a coupon or rebate potentially saving you thousands of dollars off your brand prescription medication over the course of a year.”

In addition to a generic drugs prescription price comparator and a brand drug coupons search, Medtipster offers a flu shot, immunizations and health screenings locator, providing consumers with pharmacies and mini clinics where they can receive these services in their zip code.
