The Health Ministry announces that the prices of some 1500 prescription drugs will drop by an average of 7.47 percent from next month.

The prices refer to the maximum price that can be charged for the drugs and patients should also see a drop in their co-pays to the HMOs for the medications.

The ministry says there will be no changes in the prices for over-the-counter drugs.
