Free or Low cost prescription drugs --> Needy Meds.com

[Guest guest]

Various drug companies offer programs to provide free or low-cost

prescription drugs for those unable to afford them. See:

http://www.needymeds.com

I've included direct links to information on programs for several of the

most common drugs used by MSA patients. A complete list of all drugs

covered can be found at

You must apply directly with the pharmaceutical company to take advantage of

their program.

The Problem

In this country there are many millions of people with no health insurance.

There are many more people who, even though they have insurance, don't have

the money to buy their medications. There is help available for these

people.

The Solution

Many drug manufacturers have what's called Patient Assistance Programs.

These programs are designed to help those who can't afford their medicines

obtain them at no cost or low cost.

Unfortunately, many people, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and

patients, don't know that these programs exist. Our goal is to solve this

problem.

Our website contains the latest, most complete, and most accurate

information on patient assistance programs available. We regularly contact

every drug company to check on the accuracy of our data. The information we

have is obtained directly from the drug manufacturers.

How You Can Help

We have tried to be as accurate as possible. However, we can't be

responsible for any errors or omissions. Sometimes the companies change

their requirements, paperwork, or policies, or they are not consistent in

the information they give out. In addition, they may add or delete drugs

from their programs at any time.

We depend on our users to help us keep the information current and complete.

If you know about other drug assistance programs that we haven't included,

or other sources of information that might be of interest to those in need

of help, please send the information to Libby Overly.

We are always looking for additional information to add the site. If you

know of state, county, or city programs that help people obtain their drugs,

we want to know about them. We also want to know if you have suggestions for

others types of information for our site. Just contact Libby with your ideas

and information.
