More than 4 million Americans saved nearly $1.5 billion on cardiovascular medications in 2023 using GoodRx
GoodRx, the leading destination for prescription savings in the U.S., today announced it is offering 30 of the most common heart health medications for under $30 at more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide.1 Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prominent conditions facing Americans, affecting nearly half of all U.S. adults. That’s why GoodRx is making it easier for all individuals, regardless of insurance status, to access savings on both generic and brand-name medications that mitigate the risk and impact of cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, and more.
By helping people afford their prescriptions, GoodRx is improving health outcomes and reducing the overall strain on the healthcare system.
