Cheaper Medicines for Pinoy


March 31, 2010 is nearing and with it the promise of price reductions on medicines sold in the Philippines, as announced by DoH Secretray Esperanza Cabral.  This is the 2nd wave of the Cheaper Medicine Law or Republic Act 9502 which was signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on July 4, 2008.

Manufacturers of medicines agreed to a price cut of up to 50% on medicines used for hypertensions and chronic diseases, bladder and prostate disorders, hepatitis, asthma, depression, and psychotic and mental disorders, as well as some medical equipment and fluids for dialysis.

This is a big help to all Filipinos especially in this time of ever increasing prices on gas and commodities.
