Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs is a United States public, grant-funded project of Consumer Reports Health that provides consumers unbiased information about prescription medicines. The project educates consumers on safe, effective and lower cost alternatives to their prescription drugs. It aims to improve access to needed medicines for Americans who struggle to pay for their medications. Best Buy Drugs compares prescription drugs for common health conditions based on effectiveness, safety, and price, to help people talk to their doctors about the most effective and affordable medicines.〔(Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs Mission Statement ).〕 == History == The Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs project was launched on December 9, 2004, to publish reports that combine evidence-based research on the Comparative Effectiveness and safety of prescription drugs with data on drug prices.〔("Consumer Reports launches public education campaign to help consumers save on medicines" ), Consumers Union, 9 December 2004.〕 The effectiveness data comes from the Drug Effectiveness Review Project (DERP) based at the Oregon Health & Science University Evidence-Based Practice Center. DERP uses physicians and researchers to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of commonly used prescription drugs. None of the research teams have a financial interest in any pharmaceutical company or product. In addition to DERP’s effectiveness data, Best Buy Drugs layers in drug pricing information based on average retail prices paid by consumers at the pharmacy.〔(Best Buy Drugs "Partners" ).〕 The reports are peer-reviewed by medical experts in the particular drug category. Best Buys are then chosen based on a drug’s effectiveness and safety, the side effects it may cause, how convenient it is to use, its track record in studies and use over time, and how much it costs relative to others drugs.〔(Best Buy Drugs "Methods" ).〕 There is no set formula for choosing Best Buys. Best Buys are chosen because they are: as effective as all the other drugs in the category, or more so; safe and cause no more—and usually fewer—side effects than other drugs in the category; and cost less on average than other drugs in the category. Several of the Best Buys have been chosen because of their superior effectiveness or safety profile even though they may cost more.
