TALLAHASSEE, FL - Attorney General Bill McCollum and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) Secretary Thomas W. Arnold today announced an expansion of http://www.myfloridarx.com a searchable database helping Floridians find the most current prices on the top prescription drugs. The Attorney General’s Office, in partnership with AHCA, has added 50 additional prescription drugs and their generics to the website, providing Floridians now with 150 searchable prescription drugs and generic formulas.

“With a struggling economy, Floridians are seeking new ways to stretch their dollars,” said Attorney General McCollum. “By adding additional prescription medications to the list, Floridians are able to compare even more drug prices, ultimately reducing their prescription drug costs.”

“The Agency for Health Care Administration is committed to providing Floridians every opportunity to access quality information to help them make informed decisions about health care for themselves and their families,” said Secretary Arnold. “The additional prescription information on MyFloridaRX.com makes it easy and convenient to compare prices and make informed choices.”

The website allows consumers to compare prices for prescription drugs charged by pharmacies in their city or within their individual zip code. Helpful information is available in both English and Spanish, and the search results can be easily viewed and even downloaded to a spreadsheet so consumers can review all prices at their convenience.

Prices on MyFloridaRx.com reflect what an uninsured consumer with no discount or supplemental plan would normally pay for a prescription. Because the information on the website is based on data provided to the state by pharmacies, prices shown on the website are not guaranteed and are subject to change. The website was launched in June 2005 with the assistance of AHCA.
