RxHistory has now been released! RxHistory is a Chrome extension that allows you to download the price histories for any pharmaceutical category on the popular medication price tracker, GoodRx.
This simple to use tool is designed for researchers to download pharmaceutical price data for analysis on pharmaceutical pricing. This is especially important with the ever-increasing price of healthcare, which in large part due to rising prices on existing medications and new, more expensive drugs that are being prescribed more often.
To get started, simply download the Chrome extension and navigate to any drug class page on GoodRx, for example the thyroxines page. Click on the RxHistory icon in the upper right when active (green), and a spreadsheet containing all the data will be downloaded immediately.
The spreadsheet contains all the data found on the original page, with the date and price of each data point. Each drug in the drug class has its own sheet: to view other drugs, simply click on the sheet name at the bottom.
RxHistory is also fully open source. Try it out today through the Chrome Web Store!
