Ways to reduce your drug costs

• Do you really need the medication?
• Go generic.
• Buy in bulk, i.e. a 90-day supply vs. a 30-day supply.
• Comparison shop - Walmart, $4?!
• Look for discounts, ex. Walgreen's has a Prescription Savings Club
• Go Canada - take advantage of lower drug prices across the border, either online, or in person.
• Some major pharmaceutical companies have programs that provide free medication to individuals who cannot afford them, e.g. Astra Zeneca has its own Prescription Savings programs.
• Ask your doctor if you can safely split your pills.
• Diet & exercise.
