Prescription drugs are often dispensed together with a monograph (in Europe, a Patient Information Leaflet or PIL) that gives detailed information about the drug.
Approximately 6.1 million Americans abuse or misuse prescription drugs. Since 1999, overdose deaths involving prescription painkillers have quadrupled and now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined. This is a public health epidemic.

Why Prescription Drugs Cost So Much | Michael Rea | TEDxKC
Would you be mad if you found out you were paying as much as 2000% more than your neighbor for a prescription?
Furious, Michael Rea left his job as a pharmacist eight years ago to pursue a solution to the runaway cost of prescription drugs.

He set out on his mission to arm consumers with this information and add efficiency and transparency back into the world of pharmacy. Dr. Rea has been involved with research surrounding pharmacy transparency for over 10 years. He received his Doctor of Pharmacy deg...
Insurance Companies and Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) Require Prior Authorization for Certain Prescription Medications in Order for Them to Be Covered.

If the request is denied, the rationale for the denial is sent back to the prescriber.
The prescriber can then provide additional clinical ...
