In today's episode, Dr. Will Flanary (@drglaucomflecken) & Eva Johnson cover a historic drop in prescription drug prices. Prices fell 3.1% over the past year, the steepest annual decline since 1963, and the anchors unpack what is actually driving it from generics to GLP-1 competition to the Inflation Reduction Act. They also break down why the national index does not always match what patients pay at the pharmacy counter. Plus: a split between two studies on whether CTE can be diagnosed in living patients, and more.
