The Huron Expositor, 1970-10-15, Page 3Everyone concerned about the cost of prescrip- tions finds the whole thing quite mystifying. Drug manufacturers' prices vary.' Pharmacies' dispensing fees vary. Doctors prescribe, but don't always know about prices. The result is that you, the patient, have no way of knowing if your drug bill is reasonable or not. Now the mysticism is being removed. For many months the Ontario Department of Health has been working on a program that help,everybody in Ontario to obtain prescriptions at reasonable cost "PARCOST". The key is a book that has been supplied -for the professional use of every physician, dentist, hos- pital and pharmacist in the province. Titled the Comparative- Drug Indek, it lists many of -the high quality drugs now available. And it tells how much each-one costs. For the first time, this revealing information has been assembled in one book, compiled by an au- thoritative group of doctors and experts, who have evaluated, without bias, quality products from over 60 different companies. And it makes pos- sible, quick easy cost comparisons of drugs that meet highest quality standards, enabling your doctor and your pharmacist to take active parts in the PARCOST program. Also, your Ontario Government has obtained the' co-operation of participating pharmacists in ' agreeing to standardized pricing methods. Everyone can help make the PARCOST program work. Discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist. And when you have a prescription to be filled, look for the PARCOST symbol at the drug store. Displayed on the door or window, it tells you that the pharmacist is co-operating to help you obtain prescriptions at reasonable cost. prescriptions at reasonable cost Ontario Department of Health The Hon.
