SAN ANTONIO – Feb. 27, 2008 – eDrugSearch.com, the trusted search engine for Americans seeking medications from prescreened international pharmacies, has expanded its mission by unveiling the eDrugSearch.com Community, a new social network for prescription drug consumers.
“U.S. consumers who want access to prescription drugs at fair, affordable prices have long had the odds stacked against them,” said Cary Byrd, president and founder of eDrugSearch.com. “We started eDrugSearch.com to level the playing field, giving consumers a safe way to find low-cost prescription drugs online from Canadian and other non-U.S. pharmacies.
“Now, by creating the eDrugSearch.com Community, we are moving beyond specialized search to enable our members to share information about their experiences, both with online prescriptions and online pharmacies. Our Health 2.0 community will empower members to make better decisions for themselves and for their families.”
Members of the eDrugSearch.com Community are able to:
· Rate and review pharmacies. Members can rate and contribute candid reviews of participating pharmacies, providing firsthand accounts of their experiences.
· Rate and review drugs. Members can share their experiences with specific medications, sharing information on efficacy, side effects and value.
· Track medications. Members can monitor the latest news, member comments, and price changes for the medications they take regularly.
· Make friends and join groups. Members can add to their knowledge of specific conditions and medications by forming interest groups and adding friends.
· Ask the community. Members can ask questions of the community and rate the answers received.
· Earn drug discounts. By participating in the eDrugSearch.com Community, members earn points that soon will be redeemable for drug discounts at participating pharmacies.
Prescription drug consumers have shown significant interest in social networks on general health sites, indicating an unmet demand for a niche community, according to Byrd.
“Drug consumers relish the opportunity to share their experiences — and often their frustrations — with one another,” Byrd said. “These individuals are turning to each other, and other data points on the Web, rather than simply relying on pharmaceutical company advertising for their information.”
Byrd added: “Health 2.0 is all about empowerment and making more informed decisions. The eDrugSearch.com Community will help our members to make choices that save them money, and keep them safe, when buying drugs online.”
