Assistance with drugs may be available.

Also, learn how to save money when purchasing drugs. For instance, tell your doctor that finances are a problem and ask for the drug that accomplishes the purpose with the least cost. The doctor may prescribe an older, less expensive version of the drug that does the same thing as the newer, more expensive one. There are also less costly generic versions of many drugs.
