You may have heard that Consumer Reports has jumped into the prescription drug ratings business: here's the website. Its goal is to "compare a variety of prescription drugs on price, effectiveness and safety to help consumers and their doctors identify the most effective and affordable medicines." The first three reports cover cholesterol-lowering statins (Lipitor), heartburn/acid reflux medications (Prilosec), and arthritis/pain pills like ibuprofen. It should be emphasized that the primary criterion on which CR bases its selection is price, and that's not the sole factor anyone should use in deciding something which will have an impact on one's health. Consult your doctor or pharmacist!
