Do you ever wonder about the prescription that you recently purchased? Do you have questions about cost, effectiveness or whether perhaps another less-costly prescription would be as beneficial? The Minnesota Senior Federation has partnered with Consumers Union and the Minnesota Medical Association with a new program of informing consumers with free, unbiased information on the effectiveness, safety and cost of prescriptions drugs. The program is called Best Buy Drugs. Attend the MnSF South Metro chapter meeting where MnSF staff will explain this program and how you might benefit.

The South Metro chapter will meet Aug. 11, 10 a.m., at House of Prayer Lutheran Church, 76th and Chicago avenues, Richfield.

Meetings are free and open to the public, no reservation required. For information, call MnSF at 651/645-0261.

Call the Federation's Health Plan Information Center for more information about Best Buy Drugs, 651/783-5045 or toll-free 866/783-5045.
