yeah I have noticed this problem to. Just curious if you were able to influence prescribers what would you suggest to the aspirin 75mg Rx?

While I was working at a pharmacy, im only a student, I noticed a Rx for simvastatin 10mg two a day, I pointed out to the pharmacist that a Rx for 20mg once a day would be cheaper the pharmacist just said yeah and that was that. I just feel that even if we were to contact the prescriber and be taken seriously to suggest a change to 20mg once daily woud save the NHS money. Ok it would be huge amount of money but it would be a start.
