THE BEST MEDICATION FOR YOU MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

-

Ongoing scientific progress means that new treatment options are developed with proven advantages over older medication­s. New drugs may be more effective, have fewer side effects, or better target vulnerable population­s, such as seniors and children. According to our survey, the CARP community places a greater value on these benefits compared to the cost of the medication. Yet often older, generic drugs are covered by drug plans instead of newer, potentiall­y better ones. CARP supports equal access to medication­s that are proven safe and can improve quality of life.
