It is quite unfortunate that the prescription cost is increasing continuously year after year, and it is becoming quite difficult for patients to afford it1McPhillips, D. (2023, June 2). Drug costs lead millions in the US to not take medications as prescribed, according to CDC. CNN. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/02/health/prescription-drug-costs-rationing/index.html.As a result, a lot of patients (especially uninsured individuals) end up being incompliant with the prescription written by their physician2Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2023, June 2). Products – data briefs – number 470 – June 2023. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db470.htm.As per the survey, patients either don’t buy all the medications written in the prescription or end up buying fewer doses than what is prescribed. Further, average medication spending in the USA is 100% higher than in the rest of the world3Kurani, N., Kurani, N., Cotliar, D., & Twitter, C. C. (2022, February 10). How do prescription drug costs in the United States compare to other countries?.
