New Medicines Reduce Side Effects,New medicines have been found to reduce side effects, often leading to improved compliance and better health outcomes. Approximately 20% to 30% of patients who take conventional NSAIDs develop pe

One of the primary reasons for the increase was the steady broadening of prescription drug options available to treat depression, including a new class of antidepressant medications, which have fewer side effects and require less complicated

New Drugs Reduce Total Medical Spending,The use of newer drugs tends to lower all types of non-drug medical spending, reducing the total cost of treating a condition. Hospitalization rates fall Length-of-stay

20、 in the hospital goes down Visits to family doctors and specialists are reduced Prevent costs associated with complications and symptoms Help avert costly surgeries,Research Shows Using New Medicines Reduces Health Care Spending,Use of newer medicines increased drug costs by $18, but reduced hospita

So for each additional $1 spent on newer pharmaceuticals, $6.17 is saved in total health care spending Of that amount, $4.44 comes from savings in hospital spending. Frank R.
