- Get the name of the medication (Example: seroquel)
- Search online to find out what pharmaceutical company makes it. (In this example, it is Astra Zeneca)
- Search using the pharmaceutical company's name and patient assistance program. (Example: astra zeneca patient assistance program )
- Find the right assistance program and print out the form. It is usually only one page.
- Have your doctor fill it out and fax it in.
- If your medication is NOT covered by a patient assistance program, look to pharmacies at Walmart, Walgreens, Sams Club, Target etc. which provide many generic medications for $4 or $5. Search for the name of the store and prescription drug program. (Example: Walmart prescription drug program)
- If you still cannot find the medication affordably, try the Partnership for Prescription Assistance website: https://www.pparx.org/prescription_assistance_programs/savings_cards
