Troy, MI – January 5, 2010 – Medtipster (www.medtipster.com) is the new online healthcare search engine and price comparator designed to change Americans' healthcare costs. Using Medtipster's proprietary technology, users simply type in their prescription drugs' name, dosage and their local zip code on the site's home page. Medtipster instantly generates a list of local-to-user pharmacies with the user's prescription on a generic discount program, commonly referred to as the $4 generic program. If a generic alternative is unavailable, Medtipster provides a list of therapeutic alternatives, and provides users the option to be notified once their prescription is available on a generic program.

A 2008 Manhattan Research study shows healthcare costs prevent some 40 million Americans from taking their prescriptions drugs. More than half of all American adults currently take prescription drugs daily, and it's unfortunate that many of them are forced to choose between purchasing their medications or groceries. Medtipster is a company dedicated to providing cost saving solutions to this crisis.

"We created Medtipster to provide American consumers with a single, easy-to-use resource to find the most accurate and competitive prescription drugs pricing information from pharmacies offering discount generic drug programs across the country," said Jason A. Klein, President of Medtipster. "Our goal is to provide comprehensive information to everyone – from the growing population of uninsured and underserved to the insured yet cost-conscious consumer – and to help them access their required medications while saving hundreds of dollars every month. We believe Medtipster is an asset to the overall solution to rising healthcare costs."

Since the early 2009 launch, Medtipster has quickly expanded to provide users with other vital healthcare related information such as locators for immunizations, H1N1 and seasonal flu shots, health screenings, and mini clinics; recalls, warnings, "Ask the Pharmacist" forum, and an interactive online community. Medtipster plans to go mobile in the spring of 2010, which will allow users to access the site's prescription drugs search engine using their mobile phones. With this mobile technology, in a matter of minutes, users can locate the closest pharmacy with their prescription on their generic program.
