Prescriptions can be expensive. When you don't have insurance or are short of money, it becomes increasingly important for you to compare the prices of different sources for your prescription medications to find the best price. If you have your prescription on habd and know exactly which dosage you need, you can actively search for the right price for your drug. But before comparing prices for prescription medicines, it is advisable to learn a few recommendations. - Change the prescription drug. Ask your doctor if there are alternate drugs available when the one that was prescribed earlier is not covered on your insurance or has an exceedingly high co-payment on your insurance. At times the medical practitioner might be able to prescribe a different brand of medicine that has the same key ingredient. If you arrive at a drugstore and your insurance doesn't cover your prescription or the co-payment is too high, you don't have to pick up the prescription (unless of course it is medically necessary for you to have it immediately). You can contact your physician and have the prescription changed first and then go to the pharmacy to see if it is less expensive. - Consider a generic version of your prescription drug if there is one available at your pharmacy. Commonly, this doesn't need a change from the medical practitioner on the prescription. The pharmacist can give you the generic medicine if it is available. Purchasing generics can save you a great deal of cash on your prescription costs yearly. - Use on-line prescription-comparison tools. Comparing the price for prescription medications is relatively easy with these sites. You can compare prescription medicines sold in different drugstores. - Calculate delivery rates. Although you can find cheap prescription medicines online, the total price for the prescription medicine can be high. For instance, some companies offer "free delivery," whereas others require a flat fee. This might offset your savings, depending on the prescription cost. - Estimate the cost per pill. When comparing prices for prescription medicines on-line, you should compare the cost per pill. For instance, for the medicine Lipitor, you'll find that the cost per pill could be nearly double, depending upon which pharmacy you select.
