They've been running tv ad with woman, taking two kids into empty pharmacy to ask cost of medication for her son. Comes up $67 on register - as she turns to leave, then pharmacist(not before) asks if she's heard of Good RX.(never says whether she has insurance and that's the price, or she has no insurance, or it does not cover that medication)
Cashier plugs in price - comes up $8.90. I'd like Good RX to explain why narrator in commercials says you can save up to 80% on a prescription. And yet in this commercial, that savings - shown visually - people will focus more on picture than narration - is a savings of 88%. (i. E. $67 reduced by 88% yields about $8.90)? Is use of a "fake" savings figure, exceeding what narration says customers can save - just sloppy - or intentional?

Hi Roger,
Glad to hear we were able to help you save! GoodRx provides prices and coupons for both brand-name and generic medications (FDA approved). If a drug is available as both generic and brand-name, we'll show the generic prices first as a way to help consumers save.
While we’re experts on drug prices, we aren’t doctors and can’t give medical advice. We always recommend speaking with your doctor before considering switching to a generic medication.
If you have any concerns regarding the FDA and generic medications, we recommend you speak to your doctor or pharmacist with any medical questions you might have.
Thank you.
