Aloha all,
Quick question: With many loosing their jobs, is there a place(s) that can help the less fortunate with expensive meds. For instance, a co-worker, due to cuts at work had to change her rather expensive Lexepro for prozac. (Both anti-depressants). And clearly things are not as good for her with this situation.
I am not talking a free clinic, just some ideas where there might be a program that can help in this type of situation.
thanks,
Keolu

Patient Assistance Programs
| NeedyMeds |
| Partnership for Prescription Assistance |
| Rx Outreach |
Don't forget the $4 generics at Walmart, Target and many other stores. 30 pills are $4, 90 or 100 are $10. Many generics are included.

Thanks for all the info
Keolu
programs available....Ill list a few that I found...You can view more by googling "patient assistance programs"...You should check out websites for the specific medication that you need...Some companies will offer discounted rates with a coupon printed from the website...I can't speak for prozac, but an example is Duragesic patches, they offer a discount with the coupon printed from the site.. Hope this helps.
