Save on Prescription Drugs


If you’d been laid off, then your healthcare costs may be one of the most pressing concerns on your mind.

With COBRA, or private insurance, costing hundreds of dollars a month, medical expenses can be among the priciest bills in your budget. So finding any means of cutting down your costs is a benefit, especially if you have a medical condition that requires regular care and prescriptions.

There are a number of ways to save money on Rx drugs. Some manufacturers offer discounts on their websites. For example, Pfizer offers a year of free meds for some of the newly unemployed. (Go to www.pfizerhelpfulanswers.com)

You may also qualify for reduced price drugs through programs run by patient-advocacy groups and health-care providers. (Details at www.pparx.org)

Drug savings cards are also available for those who don’t have insurance or aren’t covered for certain meds. The cards offer some discounts at participating pharmacies. (Go to www.freedrugcard.us or www.rxfreecard.com)



Wal-Mart and Target and a few other chain pharmacies are also resources for discounts, offering many common prescriptions, such as antibiotics, for $4.

  1. Hey, I have a discount medications blog too at http://gotdiscountmedicationsblog.wordpress.com. There are many today that need help. Getting a discount card could help. A discount card works like a coupon for discounted services.
