Should I Take Aspirin?

Medical advice should ultimately be given by your physician. However,
sometimes one’s physician can be busy or perhaps is not aware of all
of your medical conditions. It for this reason we offer a tool for you
to receive this advice that is our Personal Health Advisor. However,
we decided to make it even easier to help you find out if a particular
medication is appropriate for you.

We have developed a set of questions based off the same rules that
power our Personal Health Advisor. These are series of questions you
can answer to see if you may be appropriate to add a particular
medication to your regimen. This tool is meant to be used a screening
tool to help identify people who might benefit from a certain therapy.
Ultimately, one should consult their doctor before changing any of
their regimen. Changing one’s regimen without consulting one’s
physician can be very dangerous. We soon make available a whole list
of them but you can use the link below to figure out whether aspirin
may be appropriate for you!

DrugBin is Now HealthKibo

We have been going through some changes in the last few weeks. Our plan is to start offering services which are unrelated to medications. We plan to soon offer phone services to help people take care of their elderly parents and tools to help pregnant women make sure they get the best care for themselves and their child. Many exciting tools are on their way. As we are beginning to broaden our services, we though our name should do the same. Thus, comes in HealthKibo. Kibo is one of the summits of mount Kilimanjaro. It is one of the highest peaks in the world and truly pristine and beautiful area. We see health in a similar way. It should be as pristine and free of defects as possible. We hope you will find our tools and upcoming offerings a way to reach the peak of your health.

How To Find Cheaper Medications Medical costs are rising but this should not be a reason to comprise the quality of health care we get. One way to reduce the monthly medical bills is to reduce cost of medications in particular if you do not have insurance.  As you can see in the below picture, medications costs make a fair amount of your costs. So, helping to reduce can make a huge difference. Finding the same medication cheaper can be tough but with several search engines you can easily find it. However, what is not obvious is that sometimes you can find another medication that has a very similar action can be cheaper particularity if there are generics available. Unfortunately, most search engines do not do this.  For example, Lipitor is a very common medication people take to help reduce the bad cholesterol. Given that the patent has not expired on it, Lipitor can be very expensive. However, there are several other drugs with a very similar action and significantly cheaper. For those you who can afford, paying the extra dollars for Lipitor might be worth it for the relatively small added benefit it has on other very similar drugs like Simvastain. But for those who might need to reduce their medical bills, taking the cheaper medication is not a bad option at all. In fact, the added benefit of Lipitor over its brothers is not very significant.  Most may not realize that a cheaper alternative is available. For this reason, DrugBin has developed an intelligent search engine to help you find exactly this information so you do not have to rely on searching all over the internet or your doctor to find this alternative. To make it even easier for you, you can create an account and store your medications with us and have a regular pricing report sent out to you every month so that you can make sure you are not paying too much. Or, you can always login and get the latest pricing information at any time.  Money should never keep anyone from getting the health care you need.
