ABOUT 4GRxANTED
We are taken for granted. We need to change that to thrive.
The generic and biosimilar industry in the United States is responsible for making the safe, effective and lower cost medicines that fill 9 out of 10 prescriptions – more than 4 billion.
Few appreciate that these prescriptions account for only 18 percent of all spending on drugs in this country. Think about it. If you are getting a prescription filled and it doesn’t cost you a lot, it is probably a generic. More than 90 percent of generic prescriptions are filled for less than $20. Living with high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or mental health issues, maintaining diabetes, or battling cancer and auto-immune disorders – generic and biosimilar medicines make it possible for you to keep the rest of your life within reach.
