    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Public Health Policy

    Background:

    • Drug product selection allows pharmacists to dispense generic alternatives.
    • Legislation enabling drug product selection has been enacted in 46 states.
    • Florida's law uniquely mandates product selection in certain situations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of Florida's drug product selection legislation.
    • To assess consumer savings and dispensing patterns one year post-enactment.
    • To compare Florida's experience with other states.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of nearly 132,000 prescriptions from 60 community pharmacies.
    • A four-month study period representing 1% of new prescriptions in Florida.
    • Examination of cost savings passed to consumers.

    Main Results:

    • Drug product selection saved consumers an average of $1.92 per prescription.
    • Nearly $425,000 in total prescription cost savings were observed.
    • An estimated 2% of new prescriptions involved drug product selection.

    Conclusions:

    • Florida's drug product selection law effectively passed savings to consumers.
    • The rate of drug product selection in Florida is comparable to other states.
    • Opportunities exist to further increase savings through expanded drug product selection.
