A CVS pharmacist helps a customer with medication information.

Our tools can help you save in so many ways

To help find savings for patients, we check prices on generic medications and therapeutic alternatives* that are commonly used to treat similar conditions. Our pharmacists work with your prescriber to discuss the best treatment options before making any changes. 

Generic medications account for 90% of all prescriptions filled in the United States* and can be an effective way to reduce health care costs. Per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), generic medications are safe* and go through a governmental approval process similar to that of brand-name drugs. Get details here.*
