The ACFP is pleased to share with you an annual Price Comparison of Commonly Prescribed Pharmaceuticals in Alberta document.
Authored by Dr. Mike Kolber, Tony Nickonchuk, and Jayson Lee, the document identifies generic products (generally cheaper) from brand name products, a 90 day cost for standard doses (unless otherwise noted), and Alberta Blue Cross and Indian Affairs coverage.
The document is grouped by medication class and then ordered by cost. Please read the introduction for further explanation and specifically how the costs were calculated. While this document is not exhaustive, it contains many medications potentially used by office based primary care providers.

Thank you for this information. It is important that physicians are aware of the cost of medications that they prescribe.
