COPD Prescription Drug Coupons

Posted on Feb 26, 2010 in Coupons

Prescription drugs can be pretty expensive, even if you have insurance. COPD medications are no different. Those co-pays can really add up! The good news is that there are a few ways to save money.

  1. Ask your doctor if it’s possible to get a generic version of a drug.
  2. If a generic version is unavailable or your doctor recommends you take a brand-name medication, you should ask if a discount coupon or a free trial is available.
  3. There are also several websites that you can find and print COPD coupons.  For example, you can find an Advair coupon on DrugCouponZone.com or a Spiriva coupon on InternetDrugCoupons.com.
  4. On Xubex.com, patients can receive up to 30 day supply of select popular brand medications absolutely free.
  5. RXSavingsPlus.com offers a discount card that is accepted in many pharmacies.
  6. Filling your prescription at some pharmacies may be more expensive than others (even though it’s for the exact same medicine).  Consider checking to see if the price of your medication is cheaper at the pharmacy in Wal-Mart, Cosco or Sam’s Club.
  7. If you can’t afford your medication, you might quality for patient financial assistance directly from the pharmaceutical company. If the pharmaceutical company that makes your prescription is not on the list below, just try searching Google for the name of your pharmaceutical company + patient assistance.
    • You can see if you quality for financial help from GlaxoSmithKline here.
    • You can see if you quality for financial help from Merck here.
    • You can see if you quality for financial help from Boehringer Ingelheim here.
    • You can see if you quality for financial help from Astrazeneca here.
    • You can see if you quality for financial help from Bristol-Myers Squibb here.

Remember, you shouldn’t modify the recommended dosage of your medication to save money and you should always take your medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.  Also, do not buy medication from questionable sources – make sure you get your prescriptions from legitimate pharmacies.
