#34083 - 03/09/06 08:08 AM Where to find discounted prescriptions
Danita Member Registered: 01/24/05 Posts: 1550 Loc: Colorado	Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anybody knows where to get perscriptions at a discount. I know somebody who desperately needs anti-depressants, who doesn't have insurance, and can't afford expensive drugs. This person's income doesn't meet the "low income" standards that are necessary for clinics. Does anyone have suggestions? Danita

A lot of them do now. For example: http://www.astrazeneca-us.com/content/drugAssistance/default.asp I also found these sites that have helpful information: http://www.therubins.com/resource/discdrugs.htm http://www.peoples-law.org/health/charity-care/special_drug.htm http://www.themedicineprogram.com/

The Merck Patient Assistance Program has provided Merck medicines free to those who can't afford them for nearly 50 years. To find out if you're eligible, call 1-877-727-5400 or visit www.merck.com. Where patients come first - MERCK!

Daisygirl Member Registered: 08/25/05 Posts: 1052 Loc: Ohio	Danita, most physicians will give their patients "samples" they receive from their pharmaceutical vendors if they know they can't afford to buy them at a drug store. The drug companies have a sample budget (even my company has a sample budget) and the doctors get the samples free. Your friend needs to communicate her situation to her doctor. Daisygirl
