Medication assistance



Recommended Posts

I read a post about medication cost and I cant find it so I thought I would answer here. First of all a lot of drug companies offer prescription assistance on their medications so do your research to see if you qualify. If you can not find what drug company you need contact ask your pharmacy.

Also some Pharmacies have plans for some medications. Cvs has a program that includes a lot of medications. There is like a $15 dollar one time fee and then you can order 90 days at a time for a reasonable price. You can ask them for a list of medications included.

I am sure that other places like Walgreens and Rite aide probable have programs as well.

I hope this information helps someone.

Also I know a lot of people take Mirilax. I found out yesterday you can have your doctor call in a script for it and it is a lot cheaper.

Best of lucky. I know time are tough for a lot of people but don't skim on our medications!

thanks for the info, I take Omeprazole everday among a lot others but my doc calls that in because it is cheaper than buying over the counter. I will check into drug companies for one of mine as it is very expensive, very expensive.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
