Medicines for cheap

It's about that time of year when EVERYONE ends up getting sick. To save some money on meds or prescriptions here are some tips:

1. GET COUPONS
a lot of times companies have some sort of coupon out there to help with the cost.

2. GO TO A SUPERSTORE
walmart, target, and other super stores have cheaper prescriptions. $4 a script anyone?

3. USE A DISCOUNT CARD
www.pharmacydiscountnetwork.com/card is a wonderful resource to help cut the cost of medicines. I got a $27 prescription filled for $11.

4. MAKE SURE THE MED WILL ACTUALLY HELP YOU
some medicines do not work for everyone so talk about the options with your dr to find which will work the best for you. When you find an over the counter that works, use it.

5. GENERICS
I was told I had to pay $120 for a nasal inhaler, the pharmacist showed me one that was only $13.
