This web site was created to assist the many patients who struggle to pay their monthly drug bills.
With our country's declining economy, lack of health insurance and drug coverage is a national problem. It is our goal to promote the use of generic drugs to all patients, physicians, nurses and pharmacists as the most obvious way to decrease the rising cost of American healthcare. We believe that many patients as well as physicians are unaware that many of the commonly used brand name drugs are available now at a far lower price. In particular, we would like to promote the deeply discounted generic drugs offered by stores such as Walmart, so that most of the commonly prescribed drugs can be purchased by patients without insurance for as little as $10 for three months.
The following link will take you to a table that lists 10 commonly prescribed drugs and compares the brand name price, the standard generic drug price and the deeply discounted price.
Deeply discounted generic drugs will promote better drug compliance when patients realize that they can afford the drugs they are supposed to be taking.
We currently include all of the deeply discounted generic drugs from Walmart/Sams, Target, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Kroger, Ralphs, CVS, Kmart and Giant. We also include the number of pills supplied and the cost for 30 and 90 days from most pharmacies.
We have constructed a table that helps demonstrate that multiple drug choices are available in most of the common drug categories.
Please note that the drug prices vary from store to store and some restrictions apply.
