Introducing http://www.genericsarepowerful.org/

Community Catalyst launched a new program this summer in conjunction with the Alosa Foundation called Generics are Powerful Medicine. Generics are Powerful Medicine (GPM) is a national project to educate consumers about the safety, value and effectiveness of generic drugs. In 11 states, community organizations partnering with GPM are actively conducting outreach to low-income and uninsured populations to provide information and education on generic drugs.

GPM just announced the launch of its website today, genericsarepowerful.org. The site features

* All of GPM's consumer education materials about generic drugs, in both English and Spanish.
* GPM's 8-minute consumer video on generics
* A tool to look up 100 of the most common brand-name drugs, to find their generic equivalent
* Links to other websites and resources on generics and saving money on prescription drugs.
