High blood pressure is a significant risk factor for both myocardial infarction and stroke. High blood pressure can be treated with drugs, but these can be expensive. A recent clinical trial involving more than 33,000 patients compared the efficacy of three different types of blood pressure reducing drugs. Chlorthalidone, a diuretic (usual dose 25 mg/day) Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, for which there is a generic available (usual dose 5 mg/day Amlodipine (Norvasc), a calcium channel blocker for which no generic is available (usual dose 5 mg/day) [Major Outcomes of High Risk Hypertensive Patients Randomized to Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor or Calcium Channel Blocker vs. Diuretic JAMA 12-18-02, 288;23.

Add a second series of bars in your graph to compare them to US costs. 4. A commonly used anti-depressant, Zoloft (sertraline), recently became available as a generic drug. The most common regimen is 50 mg, taken daily. Find out how much a years supply of Zoloft and the generic costs for: a. A person without insurance using the Walgreens online pharmacy i. Zoloft ii. Sertraline (generic) b. A Canadian using the online Canadian Prescription Drugstore i. Zoloft ii. Sertraline (generic) c. Based on your calculations and the NPR report below, speculate on the reasons for the price differences you identified.
