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 and
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.
