If you have insurance and your copays are too high, talk to them for lower copay alternatives, your dr, pharmacist. Talk to your Dr, pharmacist, whoever you can either way! NOT taking your meds will cost you more in the long run.. I'm the perfect example... Cost in medical bills and your health and your safety! I nearly died! Now I'm paying off 3 hospital bills, air ambulance, surgery and a year of continuing care and recurrences with antibiotics, and 2 other surgeries that they linked to my Diabetes. Your family needs you and you need to be there for them. Your health is so important!

Walmart and places like that have a system where you only pay $5. Or reduced price. Going without your meds is not an option. Reach out for assistance. Call Dr office, pharmacies and ask if the know of any programs. Good luck!

If you have a Costco near you, you can save up to 30% on your drugs. That is what I do.
