Buyer Beware! | November 8, 2024

It’s amazing — and scary — how wildly drug prices can vary between pharmacies, especially when you don’t have insurance.

Here are some comparisons:

Take 100 pills of 100 mg. of Lamictal (lamotrigine) for example:

The lowest international mailorder pharmacy price: $0.54 per pill/unit for 90 pill/units

While in the United States, the lowest U.S. pharmacy coupon price: $11.78 per tablet for 90 tablets

However, there is hope.

Like: Prescription Hope which offers over 1,500 brand name medications as prescribed by your doctor. There’s a $60 per prescription per month service fee. And no other medication cost and no hidden costs. https://prescriptionhope.com

GoodRx, can save you up to 70% (mostly on generics) with a free drug/prescription discount card, which can be used at CVS Pharmacy, Target, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, Kroger and 60,000 other participating pharmacies nationwide.

No insurance is needed. There’s only one hitch, prices may vary by zip code. So check pharmacies around your area for the best deal. http://www.goodrx.com/

And these programs have been featured in U.S. News & World Report, Prevention Magazine, Forbes Magazine, ABC, NBC and Fox News!

So, what do you have to lose, except savings!

    Online and on phone call with Prescription Hope it is $60.00 per script not $15.00. I’m waiting on manufacturer of Briviact to decide if I can get it for free because I have no insurance.
