Go to RXoutreach.org - I had to use them years ago and I know they do work. Good luck and keep us informed on what you end up doing ok?

You should be able to get Merck to help, using this link:
http://www.merck.com/responsibility/pap-information.html
but if you cannot, try this one. I have used them for several medications myself. I got 4 months worth of insulin free, so It's well worth the effort to print the forms and have your physician sign them! Good luck.

You can go to www.FreeMedicine.com and print off an ap. You bring the form to your Dr. and he fills out your meds. Then it gets sent in. You pay $10 one time for each prescription med and thereafter, your meds are all free.
This isn't just for low income people either. A family of four will qualify even if their income is 80k per year.
The phone number for free meds is 1-573-996-3333
I sincerely hope this helps. God Bless

always always contact to mfg. directly. I was paying almost 1000 per month in meds because I dond't have insurance. The mfg. of my medications All gave me free medications for one year. They have requirements but usually are really able to help you. Sometimes the county you live in will also have a discount pharmacy card. Call you local Medicaid office to see if they offer something like this. DON"T pay for a discount card. that's a scam.

It depends on whether you have insurance or not and what kind, but here are a couple of sources that have helped me in the past:
rxassist.org
www.pparx.org
or as suggested call the company directly. Also, my doctors have given me samples when they're available. I hope you can get some help.

Try contacting Merck directly. You should be able to locate a website for the company. All drug companies have a department to assist people in your situation.

Almost all the major drug companies have helper programs. Contact them directly. Walmart / Sams Club, Costco, Target (and probably others) have a list of (specific) low cost drugs that you can get cheaply. Also ask your doctor for samples. Tell them your situation. Buy generic of course, as much as possible.

We heard about this site on C-SPAN yesterday. It was organized by a doctor and nurse to help people with the high price of prescription drugs. Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have special programs to assist people who can't afford to buy the drugs they need. One problem is that it's often hard to learn about these programs. Pass the word along to those that need this help.

When my husband and I were struggling to pay for prescription drugs we contacted the pharmaceutical companies directly.
