The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association has a hotline: 1-800-762-4636. They'll mail you a booklet to take to your physician. If your prescription is listed in the booklet, your doctor can request that you receive it free. You may need to fill out an application, but it's worth it. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Editor-in-Chief, "Spotlight on Food--nutrition news for people 60-plus" http://www.fortnet.org/~fivstar and NUTRITION TOPICS copy-ready handouts http://www.dietetics.com/class/fivstar/ Tel: 970-493-6532 Fax: 970-493-6538
