OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The state House Wednesday approved a plan for prescription drugs that Governor Brad Henry says will reduce the cost of those medications.

The bill allows Oklahoma pharmacies to buy cheaper drugs from Canada and other authorized countries and it calls for creation of a state Web site to help Oklahomans find cheaper prescription drugs.

The bill now goes back to the state Senate for consideration of House amendments.
