DrugFinder – smart drug choices
Prescription drugs can be costly, and many Canadians are not aware that when they are prescribed a drug, there could be alternatives that are just as effective and can save them money – consumers have a choice in the drugs they take. Welcome to DrugFinder, an online tool to search the Reformulary, a list of drugs reviewed and handpicked by our expert panel of doctors and pharmacists. Our independent medical experts have spent tens of thousands of hours reviewing clinical research with the goal of curating the best options to help you make smart drug choices. Recommendations you can trust, at no cost to you.
You can search over 15,000 brand name and generic drugs to find out if our experts recommend the drug, or if there is an alternative drug that works just as well and can save you money. You can print or email this information to take to your pharmacist or doctor to discuss your choices.
Creating an account allows you to save searches and add your prescriptions – or soon by taking a picture with your camera – to your own personal, secure medicine cabinet, where we can send you alerts, updates and more relevant information on the drugs you are taking.
DrugFinder features:
- Search on any approved drug in seconds
