Re: Anyone have info on how to get meds discounted ??

[Guest guest]

Many people have turned to Canada or Mexico for their Rx purchases as way

lowered prices. Others, if old enough, have gotten theirs through AARP (American

Association For Retired Persons). They have a website & magazines/newsletters

too that advertize & show places to get discount Rx drugs. There are many other

sources, including buying Rx discount memberships or low cost Rx drug insurance.

AARP has those & other agencies do too for diabled persons who aren't retirement

age. I don't have all those sources here in front of me but they're easily

obtained on the Internet using one's search engine. I could get my AARP info

about some of these if she's eligible for being a retired person. Let me know if

you or she wants it.

Blessings,

with the cost of this medication??

Janine,

Try calling the drug manufacturer. They sometimes have patient assistance

programs in which she can apply for. Perhaps they even have coupons! Who

knows, but that is my recommendation for a starting point. They perhaps can

direct her in the right area.

Also, have her check with the MD for free samples of the product. Manufacturers

always provide those, but if she explains to the doc her situation, he/she may

be able to help her out by getting samples from the manufacturer.

Good Luck!
