Drug companies tend to supply physicians with samples of the newest, costliest brand-name medications. Patients who need to fill a prescription after the samples run out may find that it costs far more than an older drug or a generic that would have worked just as well. When ordering online, avoid pharmacies that will fill your drug order without requiring an actual prescription. Some people may be eligible for discounted prescription drugs through their state government. Drug companies also run patient-assistance programs for those who meet income and other eligibility requirements.
Patients can apply through their doctor.
