GETTING MEDS AT LOWER PRICE
 

• $15 Pfizer prescriptions [NEURONTIN]
  If you’re on Medicare, you may qualify to pay only $15 for each Pfizer prescription. Using the Share Card™ is simple. If you qualify, the Share Card™ can be used at a local pharmacy that accepts the card. Use it when you fill a Pfizer prescription. You will pay $15 for up to a 30-day supply of medicine. And you can learn more about health topics that interest you. Call 1.800.717.6005 with any questions, anytime.
  
  
• The Medicine Program
  You can get your medicine free of charge if you are considered low income. Many of these companies consider $25,000 a year for one person low income. Amid the growing furor about rising prescription costs, many patients and doctors aren't aware that the drug companies themselves give away millions of dollars worth of drugs each year. Most people do not know these programs exist. An organization known as The Medicine Program is here to help and cuts the red tape for thousands of eligible Americans. You can request a free brochure/application by calling 1-573-996-7300.

• NeedyMeds.com
  Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have special programs to assist people who can't afford to buy the drugs they need. One problem is that it's often hard to learn about these programs. Needy Meds goal is to make this information
  easily accessible. Each company has its own program with its special requirements, forms, and procedures. Actually, some companies have different programs for different drugs. There is no central clearinghouse for obtaining up-to-date information about these programs or the drugs themselves.
