Quality Quest is pleased to offer Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs content on our website.  Best Buy Drugs reports evaluate and rate prescription drugs based on safety, effectiveness, and cost. Each report compares prescription drugs by categories representing specific conditions such as depression or high blood pressure. You can look up a report by category or through the alphabetical listing of each drug.

Drugs rewarded with the “Best Buy Drug” rating are flagged with an icon and are considered a superior value in their category. Often that means the drug is less expensive, yet just as safe and effective as other drugs in its category. Note that the average cost provided is based on an average and may not reflect the price in your region.

As always, Consumer Reports offers this service free of advertising and commercial or government influence. These unbiased reports are not meant to replace the judgment of your doctor or pharmacist.  They are designed to help you talk to your doctor about treatment options that suit your medical needs and give you the best value for your health care dollar.
