Choose a Drug Report
 

Downloading one of our drug reports is easy. So is reading them, either online or printed out. We urge you to print so you can show and discuss them with your doctor.

Though our reports don’t stint on the details you need, they are written for you, the consumer.

The reports are in what is called "PDF" format. You’ll need a piece of software to open them on your computer, and to print them out. This software can be easily downloaded by clicking here. The software can also be downloaded from the Resource box that appears on each drug report page.

Our reports compare prescription drugs by category – that is, drugs in the same class that are used to treat a specific condition or illness such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, allergies, coronary-artery disease, heartburn, or depression. They combine an expert review of the scientific evidence with pricing information.

Note that you can download summaries of our reports, too. These handy 2–page summaries are available in English and Spanish. Our newest report may not yet have a 2–page summary since there is usually a bit of a lag between the posting of a new full report and our preparation of the summary.

You can choose a drug report from the drop–down menu on the left or by clicking on the title below.
