How To Take Full Advantage Of $4 Drug Lists At CVS, Walgreen. Rite-Aid, Costco

Dear T,

Thanks for your email.

It hurts me to hear of your pain.

I encourage you to give diclophenac (Voltaren) another try - always taking it with food.

The 75 mg size is available at Walmart (and other pharmacies with a cheap prescription drug list such as Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS, Costco, Target, Kroger's) for $4.00 (four dollars). 

Yes, $4.00 for a month's supply!

At Walmart, a month's supply of the next higher dose of diclophenac costs $213.00 (two hundred and thirteen dollars)!

As a rule, even good physicians are clueless how much drugs cost at pharmacies -- and since the $4.00 prescriptions are usually limited to just one dose level per drug -- you have to do your homework to see which drugs -- at which doses -- quality.

You might even be able to hunt down "equivalent" drugs for $4.00 to replace drugs that currently cost much more.

Here's the whole scoop on $4.00 meds. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2011/march/health/best-buy-drugs/the-best-deal-around/index.htm

And here's Walmart's $4 drug list: http://i.walmart.com/i/if/hmp/fusion/genericdruglist.pdf

And here's Walgreeen's $4 drug list: http://www.walgreens.com/images/psc/pdf/PSC_2_0_VPG_List_FINAL_32312.pdf

90 day prescriptions are even cheaper.

Love

Alan
