Abstract
Pharmacoeconomics refers to the scientific discipline that compares the value of one pharmaceutical drug or drug therapy to another. It is a subdiscipline of health economics. How do health, pharmacy, medications and financial constraints impact on each other? What are the consequences of innovative drug development and expensive medications? Does quality of life and health come at a cost? This chapter attempts to delve into the aspects of pharmacoeconomics and presents case scenarios of pharmacoeconomic analysis within rheumatoid arthritis.
