An Evidence-based Approach to Controlling Drug Costs
Summary
Optimizing the dosing of many expensive drugs can drastically reduce both costs and toxicities.

The next administration should, therefore, launch an effort to control the cost of prescription drugs through an evidence-based approach to optimizing drug dosing and improving outcomes. The requisite trials pay for themselves in immediate cost savings.
