RightRx touts significant savings. How do they do that?
One method is therapeutic drug substitution:
“Any prescription that has been prescribed by its trade or brand name may be changed to another drug product with the same active chemical ingredients of the same strength, quantity, and dosage form, and of the same generic drug name as determined by the United States Adopted Names USAN) and accepted by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), of those drug products having the same active chemical ingredients. RightRX may substitute a generic drug for a prescribed drug unless the prescriber indicates, “Dispense as written.” If questions arise as to therapeutic equivalency (e.g., expected to have the same effect), RightRX will contact or consult the drug company or related resources. RightRX will let you know that your prescription has been substituted.” SOURCE: Patient Welcome Packet
TRANSLATION: A drug costing $5,000 may be substituted for a drug with the same effective ingredients for $50.
