Another way to save money on prescriptions!
Useful: rebates for prescription medications.
The makers of many prescription drugs offer substantial rebates. Several Web sites, including http://www.Internetdrugcoupons.com (http://www.Internetdrugcoupons.com) and http://www.Optimizerx.com (http://www.optimizerx.com), provide links to coupons and rebate forms for both prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Savings range from $1 off Bayer Aspirin to $100 for CellCept, an anti-rejection drug used after organ transplants. There are coupons for diabetes supplies, contact lens supplies and pet medications, too.
Some drug companies provide substantial discounts if you sign up on their Web sites, another good place to check for deals. For example, AstraZeneca, maker of Nexium, has a program in which it provides up to $50 per month for a year toward its product.
Manufacturers regularly offer printable coupons, free trials and co-payment reductions on many brand-name medications, notes Flash at the http://www.GroceryCoupon Guide.com (http://www.GroceryCouponGuide.com), in a post on saving money on prescription medications. Flash notes that while these offers used to primarily for new medications, the economy has led companies to provide regular savings on many medications. The Grocery Coupon Guide lists many offers on its http://grocerycouponguide.com/articles/rx-prescription-drug-coupon/ prescription coupon page.
Also, look for offers in magazines, at the pharmacy and at your doctor's office. Once you redeem a prescription coupon, the manufacturer will generally provide another coupon or rebate voucher by mail.
