Happening in Washington: CR gives your prescriptions a workout

CR Best Buy Drugs For Less Consumer Reports is launching a public campaign in support of comparative effectiveness research to urge policy makers to get behind the effort to provide doctors and patients with independent comparisons of different treatments for medical conditions.

We've set up an interactive display in Washington's Union Station today to get the word out.

That's our booth to the right, where  we're running some medications through a bit of vigorous testing.

If you're in the nation's capital, stop by and pick up a copy of our latest publication, Best Drugs for Less.

If you can't make it in person, you can learn about Best Drugs for Less online.

Best Drugs for Less provides unbiased, independent evaluations to help people choose medicines that are safe, effective, and affordable.  The magazine aims to help patients and doctors in cutting through the clutter of drug advertising so they can make informed decisions about their medications.

Get started with your own comparative research by checking out our list of 10 ways to reduce your drug costs.
