1. Generic Drugs. Go Generic. Ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs. As a rule generic drugs cost less than their name brand counterpart. And most generic drugs are just as good as the higher name brands, according to the FDA. Consumers who opt to buy generic drugs save hundreds per year on each individual prescription.

2. Prescription Drug Discount Cards. Several companies offer prescription
   drug discount cards which are provided free with membership. Those who use the discount cards buy drugs at a special price. One popular savings plan is Together RX Access. Search "Google" for their online site and more information about their prescription drug discount cards.

3. Pharmacies/Discounts. All pharmacies are not created equal. Learn to
   compare drug prices at different stores. One prescribed drug might cost
   far more at one pharmacy than a discount pharmacy across the street. And many stores like Walmart offer a flat fee of around $4 for a months supply of prescribed generic drugs.

4. Drug Companies. Consult your personal physician about programs offered
   by many well known pharmaceutical companies. These programs help low
   income people acquire prescription drugs for free or at a lower price.

5. Prescription Drug Assistance. Contact state assistance programs to see
   if you are eligible for prescribed drug assistance plans.
