Free Medications
Many of the pharmaceutical companies make their products available free
of
charge to patients who do not have the means to pay for them. The following
companies have indicated that all prescription products manufactured by
their
company are covered under their programs:
Allergan
Burroughs-Wellcome
Glaxo, Inc
Marrion Merrell Dow, Inc.
Miles
Parke-Davis
Sanofi Winthrop
Amgen, Inc.
Du Pont Merck
Hoffman-LaRoche
Merck
Norwich-Eaton
Smithkline Beecham
Upjon
Normally, your physican has to make the request and the amount may vary
from
one to a three month supply per request. Of course, the doctor has sales
reps
from all these companies visiting him/her on a continual basis (usually at
the same time as your appointment) and will have the information available
to
them.
You have to REALLY be financially indigent (i.e. can't afford gas for
your
'95 Volvo) to be eligible for these programs, however, your doctor will
help
you to become financially indigent.
