Prescription Card

On physcian's advice, I have taken OTC Cardiotek for many years. The price has more than doubled since I started taking it - from about $35 to almost $90. TRICARE formulary lists two prescription versions, only one of which is available through the TRICARE mail order pharmacy. The difference is a hyphen. CARDIOTEK-RX is available; CARDIOTEK RX is not. I know that CARDIOTEK RX is manufactured by SJ Pharmaceuticals. Does anyone know who makes CARDIOTEK-RX? ## It is the same exact thing, made by the same company. ## Cardiotek and Cardiotek-RX are different by what is in them. The price is the same for either.

My daughter has been prescribed by her cardiologist losarten25my as a prevention again aorta enlargement due to her congenital aortic bicuspid valve. We just found out her doctor prescribed 50my by accident for months and she had been suffering a lot of side effects, depression, anxiety,aches pains, dizziness ,feeling cold until a doctor checked her blood pressure and discovered the mistake,reduced it to 25my, How long will it take for her to feel better ,her blood pressure is as low as 88/65 ## It may take a few weeks, since she's been taking the higher dosage for several months, according to the NIH. Is she feeling better, yet? Is she on any other medications? She may also experience increased urination and diarrhea.

WHICH MAJOR PHARMACY HONORS YOUR CARD? DOES CVS HONOR IT? ## Yes, CVS should honor this site's discount card and so should a lot of other pharmacies. If you go to the rx lookup page you should be able to pull a list of pharmacies within a certain distance of your zip code. The address to that is I know you asked this earlier in the month, but I hope it helps!

Dear reader, My cardiologist gave me Diovan 60. That has been around now for some time. These pills are packaged in 14 pills per strip. Now this pill changed to Valstartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 125/75 mg, and these pills are packaged in strips of 10 pills. Do you know where I can still get these 14 day strips? I have a prescription from my cardiologist available. Thanks for your reply. Henno R., Netherlands {edited for privacy}

i cant afford a health insurance ,but i need a R/X card for prescription drugs what is the best program out there , that is not exspensive.i live pa ## I am paying an insurance copay of 250.00 for a 90 day supply of Invega ER 6 mg tablets for my son. This medicine is selling for $1500 for a 30 day supply. Can this RX Discount card be used with United Healthcare insurance to help with the cost?

I am on Medicare and have United Healthcare Supplemental Insurance. Can I also get a RX Discount Card to pay on this if rejected by insurance?

Are you felling burdened with the bills of prescription drugs? So why not use discount cards at the medical stores and get 15% to 60% off on your medicines. ## I'm looking for Cyril (DBX-13) for diabetic treatment. Will you help. Thanks

Hello. I am hoping someone can give me an idea of how much I'll have to pay per month to start taking Ozempic? I have BCBS insurance but has anyone tried to buy Ozempic without insurance using the savings card? If so, how much did you have to pay? I really need this medicine so I can get healthy again. ## If you go to a private drug store, ask the owner if they can get it for cheap. I did. ## Do not take this if you are not diabetic. THEY need these meds. But if you have to pay cash, AAA gives a really good discount at chain pharmacies. My $90 meds became $30 but CVS told me someone’s $900 dog meds became $90 with AAA. If your pharmacy is not used to processing these you might have to go to the AAA website to look at the discount card to get the bin number, but a lot of the ch...

Alternatively, have you talked to your doctor about other medications that Medicaid will cover?

The tablet marked 93 733 contains 50mgs of Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac conditions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is in a white non-scored ...

I attempted to use my Rx discount card at Wal-Mart pharmacy n they no longer accept it. I have applied within the state for Medicaid n still have not been accepted. I had to pay over $300.00 for my scripts,over half of what am used to paying for them...any help PLEASE!?!?! ## Hello, Kimmy! How are you doing? I am very sorry about how much you had to spend. Did you ask them? They should be able to let you know which ones they accept. Another alternative that may save you some money would be to get the Walgreen's card. It cost $25 a year, but when I used it, it did save me a lot more than what it cost. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

What prescription drug can replace Norvasc and Cartia with low incidence of side effects. I already take Lisiniprol and Atenolol. ## Dr. just replaced novasc & lipitor with cadulet 10mg/20mg. He said this one pill will work better than those two pills. I'm also trying to find out side effects. ## Caduet is a combination medication that contains Amlodipine, which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, with Atorvastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol. Learn more Caduet details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. As to medications to replace others, it is usually best to discuss such things with your doctor, because there's really no way to say that any particular medication may cause you less side e...

I have no insurance currently and need help paying for my Lyrica. ## Hello, Tonya! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're out of work. However, since there are generics available, there is no assistance program available for this medication. But there are pharmacy discount cards that may make it cheaper. There is one towards the right on each page of this site, you simply click the link, submit your email address, then print the card and take it to your pharmacy. The FDA classifies Lyrica as an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Does anyone else have any suggestions that may help? ## The company that makes Lyrica...

Need Help With Getting Prescriptions without Insurance i have been on klonpin for over 7 years and my doctor said to never stop taking it because you could have major side affects. But my husband was fired last week while on workers comp and they called and said that you are fired and your insurance will stop at midnight. I take 1mg 4x's a day. ## You can contact a pharmaceutical company that makes it and ask if they have a Patient Assistance Program. Most pharmaceutical companies also have websites and you can put Patient Assistance in the search bar. You will have to fill out a application and provide proof of income and no insurance. There are also Prescription Drug Discount Cards and they can save you a lot. You can print most off the internet. There is no application or income ...

I was prescribed 60mg of imdul when i complained of recurring slight chest pain after a 2 minuets walk but pain disappears when i take a short rest and can then finish my walk with no pain. Few days before prescription arrived started not having the pain. Should i still take the medication when it arrived? Thanks. ## Hello, Ruben! How are you? Did they do any testing, such as as an EKG, or did they just prescribe the medication? It really depends on that. If they did testing and said that you need the medication, you should take it, but if not, you may want to get a second opinion from a cardiologist. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache.

Contrave is not covered by my insurance. I have the discount card provided by the manufacturer. Any suggestions on which pharmacy offers the best prices? ## Hi Katie, what is your current cash price and zip code? I know this site offers a free discount card which may be able to offer you a savings. There is also a lookup tool which you can use to see what the cost would be. For example, in my area 30 tablets came out to around $61. Hope this helps!

My doctor just renewed my prescription for eemt (originally estratest) but my insurance won't cover it and the pharmacy said it would be $407.00 for a 90 day supply. I can't afford it any longer. I have used estratest &/or eemt for many years and it was the only thing that works. My hot flashes and night sweats are miserable.
