Prograf and CellCept will send the information to your house automatically each year if you sign up for the updates. CellCept sent me two of the same thing regarding their program. I would adive to check out each of yyour medications websites and sign up for their newsletters to get important information. With Actonel, I get a $5 dollar rebate each time I send the rebate back in. I could get more if the receipt would say which Vitamin I was buying because it is $5 each for Calcium, Vitamin D, and something else that could get one a $20 rebate.
