Breaking Down Barriers to Medication Access


Listen Later

Discover how you can manage the financial strain of chronic illnesses with insights from Laura and Jamie of Universal Drugstore, who join us for a candid discussion on medication affordability. We begin with Laura's heartfelt account of living with juvenile arthritis and how the exorbitant drug prices in the U.S. compare to more affordable international options. Learn about Universal Drugstore’s two-decade commitment to connecting patients with licensed international pharmacies, providing a reliable lifeline for those struggling to keep up with the cost of long-term prescriptions.

As safety concerns often arise with international pharmacies, we tackle these head-on with Jamie, Universal Drugstore's in-house pharmacist. With two decades of experience ensuring the safety and quality of medications, Jamie explains their rigorous standards and global sourcing practices to keep patients safe. Plus, we share advancements in drug therapies for autoimmune diseases, providing listeners with the latest options and innovations, including stem cell therapy. You'll hear about my role in making this complex information accessible and understandable for all patients.

We then shift our focus to empowering patients beyond medication, highlighting the importance of accurate medical content and community support. Learn about our collaboration with content and analytics experts to ensure consumer-focused information and the vital role of reliable sources like clinical studies. We encourage tapping into national foundations and local societies for support and invite you to share feedback to help us enhance our services. Universal Drugstore remains dedicated to providing affordable and safe medication solutions while fostering a supportive community for those living with chronic conditions.
