As you all know prescription cost continue to rise. These costs affect you and your family and keep the cost of insurance high. RxAdvocate benefit program analyzes claims data and can save on average over $300 per member through recommending “switches” to equivalent drug prescriptions. RxAdvocate uses a secure proprietary platform designed by physicians and pharmacists to search for savings on your prescriptions.

Medication switches or suggested changes are most often thought of as changing a brand-name product to a generic drug. Switching also can mean the changing of one brand name product for another, or the switching of a generic medication to the same drug produced by another generic manufacturer.

There are two types of switches: generic substitution and therapeutic substitution.

Generic Substitutions

Generic substitution refers to the switching of a brand-name product to a generic product with the same active ingredients.

What is a therapeutic substitution?

With therapeutic substitution, a medication previously determined to be therapeutically equivalent to a second drug, even though it is not chemically identical to the prescribed drug
