Senior citizens have a legitimate cost saving alternative to resorting to the illegal and unsafe practice of importing their Rx medications from Canada or other countries… in the form of various cost-saving prescription drug manufacturer programs. These programs offer substantial assistance to qualified low-income seniors. Many are unaware of this opportunity.

For instance, the Together Rx program, a joint effort of major prescription drug manufacturers, founded by Abbott Laboratories, AstraZeneca, Aventis, Bristol Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, Novartis, and Ortho-McNeil… offers qualified low-income seniors the opportunity to save approximately 20% to 40% on many of their products.

Each company has its own individual program, but the Together Rx program allows a patient to carry one card… rather than a wallet full. Pfizer and Lilly also offer substantial savings to qualified seniors through their own savings programs. Here’s a quick table of contact information pharmacists can offer seniors so they can find out more about these programs.
