How to Save Money on Your Prescriptions

[Holicent]

Prescription drugs are expensive. Some of the most common ones can cost you thousands of dollars per year. If you have any health conditions that require prescription medication, it's important to know how to save money on your prescriptions.

Here are some tips for saving money on your prescriptions:

1. Ask your doctor about generic drugs before going off-label. If your doctor doesn't know about the generic version, ask him or her about it. Most doctors will give you a list of all available generics and let you pick one that works for you.

2. Shop around for better prices at local pharmacies instead of buying from national chains like CVS or Walgreens (WBA). These stores often mark up their prices significantly compared to smaller pharmacies in your area, which means you're paying more than if you shopped around at smaller local pharmacies like Rite Aid or Target (TGT), or related pharmaceutical stores in your country.

3. Ask your friends and family members who are also taking medications if they use an online pharmacy like e-Scripts or Drug Discount Club (DDC). These sites have lower prices than most drugstores because they don't have overhead costs like large stores do (plus DDC offers free shipping), however, this also depends on your location.

If you're like most people, you probably spend a lot of money on your prescriptions. But did you know that some of the things that you can do to save money on your prescriptions will actually save your health?

Here are five tips for saving money on your prescriptions:

1. Take advantage of coupon codes and discounts. The more coupons and discounts you use, the more money you'll save!

2. Use generic brand drugs whenever possible. Generic brands are cheaper than name brand drugs, but they're not always as effective or safe. so take the time to research which ones are the best option for what you need before taking them.

3. Ask your doctor about generic versions of expensive medications if they aren't covered by insurance. They may be cheaper than their name-brand counterparts!

4. Ask about insurance plans that pay for medications directly instead of paying for a copayment or deductible first before covering any costs related to those medications (for example, ask whether they cover all or part of any co-pays or deductibles).

5. If you have insurance through Medicare or another government program, consider asking if they have lower-cost options available through mail order pharmacies.
