New York State Board of Pharmacy publishes an annual list of the 150 most frequently prescribed drugs, in the most common quantities. New York State Department of Health collects retail price information on these drugs from pharmacies that participate in the Medicaid program. This site allows you to search for a specific drug from the most frequently prescribed drug list.
Select a drug name from the provided list below by clicking on the arrow in the "Drug Name" box. Then, enter your City, or select your County from the drop down list, or enter your ZIP code. After entering your ZIP code, choose a distance to include in your search results.
At this time, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) obtains retail price information from pharmacies participating in the Medicaid program. Other pharmacies in your area may offer different prices than the ones listed on this site. Please note NYSDOH publishes the price data as it is received without verification. As a best practice, always contact or visit your pharmacy to obtain specific price information prior to the purchase of a drug.
It is very important that you tell your health care practitioner and pharmacist about all of the medications you are currently taking. Please be sure to ask them how to avoid potentially harmful interactions between those drugs. You should also ask your health care practitioner and pharmacist about any side effects associated with the drugs you are taking or any other questions you may have about the drugs.
