Prescriptions are far from cheap, and many people don't have health insurace that covers their prescriptions. Below are some tips to save money on your prescription drugs online.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Many websites offer drug prescriptions online at high discounts. Partly, due to the fact they're shipped directly so they don't have to pay for storefronts, and also because many of these companies have special deals with the drug companies. Ordering your prescriptions online will almost always be cheaper than getting them from a drugstore.

  2. Step 2

    Always check for shipping costs. Most will offer free shipping, but others will purposely use high shipping costs to make up for the difference in the drug prescription discounts.

  3. Step 3

    Always choose the generic option when available. Generic drugs aren't made from the same drug company, but are made with the exact same formula.

  4. Step 4

    When it's a prescription drug that you know you will continue to use, always try to opt for the larger prescriptions. Many times the difference can be as drastic as paying for $10 a pill when you get a 30 day supply, to being $3 a pill when you get a 3 month supply.
