This is where you're sure of prescriptions at reasonable cost!
Is the PARCOST symbol displayed at the pharmacy where you get
your prescriptions filled?
If it is, you can be sure your pharmacist is interested in helping you
obtain prescriptions at reasonable cost. Concern about both quality
and cost of drugs, and interest in the patient who pays the bill, is
the whole theme of the PARCOST program.
A copy of the PARCOST Comparative Drug Index that your
Ontario Department of Health has sent to your doctor, is in constant
use in pharmacy dispensaries. This authoritative Index of quality
Ontario Dep
drugs enables your doctor and your pharmacist to see at a glance the
differences in cost of various manufacturers' drugs of the same
formula and strength . . . and to be aware of cost when prescribing
or dispensing your prescription.
As the PARCOST program gains more and more support from
physicians and pharmacists, the end result will be to lower the
average cost of prescriptions in Ontario.
You can help hasten this day by always getting your prescriptions
filled at a pharmacy where the PARCOST symbol is displayed.
