Dose Optimization

The dose optimization program is designed to reduce prescription costs. It also makes it easier to comply with prescriptions by reducing the number of times you need to take a medication each day.

 

The program includes drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for once-a-day doses and have different strengths available at similar costs.

 

For example, a drug may have a 40mg tablet that costs the same as an 80mg tablet. Taking one 80mg tablet is more cost-effective than taking two 40mg tablets per day. In some cases, your out-of-pocket costs can be reduced by as much as 50 percent.
