For those who live in the Mid-West or South where there are Schnucks stores with pharmacies, there are 54 generic antibiotics dispensed free of charge, with a prescription, of course.

Meijer also offers free antibiotics.

(Please use antibiotics responsibly.)

Publix also has the free antibiotics of certain ones. I had a little sinus infection and my husband just decided out of the blue to fill my prescription there as he bought me some soup and it was free.

Did Kroger just say they were offering $4 prescriptions as well?

[katwoman]

KMart pharmacy also has the $4 prescriptions.

Thank god for competition.

[Joan.of.the.Arch]

Alright! At least in the mid-west the $4 generic for many common prescriptions and free common anti-biotic seems to be a well established trend. I had to travel within my state in the last week and listened to small town radio stations that were full of advertisements for these deals, mostly at pharmacies in grocery stores.

Yup Target got me the $4 deal.

[sweeps]

So how many people use their insurance card and pay $10 for a prescription they would have gotten for $4 without?

[Squeezing Pennies]

Sam's Club has them too, and some Kroger's (King Soopers) do also!

The only problem is the physicians who prescribe medicines really are oblivious to the list and should be more conscious of those on fixed income. He prescribed my father an extended release version of a medicine on the list and it was 20 times more a month and a branded statin that has been proven no more effective than the older generation of statins.

Please don't make that a generalization. Perhaps it applies to your father's doctor, but it doesn't apply to all. We have a copy of the Wal-Mart list in each exam room in our office. I refer to it frequently. In fact, at this point, I hardly ever actually look at the list because I know what is on it quite well. I've helped my patients save thousands and thousands of dollars by teaching them about the Wal-Mart plan.

Have your doctor print out a copy of the list from walmart.com and bring it to his doctor and ask if any of his meds can be changed to things on the list.

Steve, I commend you in your work as a physician. More of them should be like you and I would definitely be a patient of yours and recommend you to others if I lived in your neck of the woods. All I can say his "replacement" doctor was stubborn in changing his meds.

I can honestly say the two doctors I see on a regular basis are very conscious of drug costs and how much someone can afford. My family doctor always checks, my allergist does and gives out many samples of things. Glad you are equally kind, Disney Steve!

Don't forget that a lot of these same places have a $9 Women's Health program as well.
