Prescription drugs can carry a high price tag and be very expensive for consumers who pay out of pocket for over the counter medicines. Insurance may cover only a part of the entire cost of an Rx drug. A prescription list Rx coupon, free sample or generic brand drug can help consumers save a great deal and can be obtained either directly through drug manufacturers or through a pharmacist or doctor. Below is what you need to know about saving money on prescription drugs.
Prescription Drugs Coupons
Many prescription drugs manufacturers offer drug coupons to compensate a portion of the price and encourage consumers to trial the drug. Common coupon categories include Rx drugs for allergies, cholesterol, migraines and acne-- however other categories may also apply. In some cases a prescription list Rx coupon may expire while others can be used over any period. Some coupons may also be reused even after the prescription discount has been redeemed.
Generic Brand Prescription List Rx
Generic brand Rx drugs are a much cheaper substitute to their brand-name supplements, however pharmaceutical companies rarely offer coupons for generic brand savings. Occasionally insurance companies offer generic brand discounts, but some restrictions do apply.
Prescription Drugs Samples & Free Trials
Prescription drugs companies often provide trial periods for free as a part of a direct-to-consumer marketing incentive. These trial periods are an attractive way for consumers to save money on brand name list Rx drugs.
Where to Find Rx Discounts, Trials & Coupons
Manufacturer websites often provide free trials, coupons and discount incentives. Often list Rx coupons can be printed directly online by consumers and in many cases offer the same face value as coupons obtained through a pharmacy or doctor. Some websites also provide assistance programs to help consumers save money on prescription drugs. Magazines and television ads also encourage consumers to visit the manufacturer website for special offers and coupons, so be sure to keep your eyes open for the website URL.
Pharmacies may also provide in store coupons for a limited selection of list Rx drugs. Contact your local pharmacist too see if any promotional trials are running.
Some Rx manufacturers allow consumers to request sample prescription drugs via telephone, and many offer direct coupon mailings.
Free samples and coupons are a great way to save money on prescription drugs; however these types of promotional incentives provide a short term solution and do not address the increasing cost of prescription list Rx drugs. For further reading, please see "Rising Cost of Prescription Drugs."
