The cost of prescriptions can be staggering, especially if you don’t have insurance.  If you don’t have insurance, one way to defray the cost is through prescription savings cards. There are two free cards available: a FreePharmaCard and a Pharmacy Discount Network Card. By using one of these cards, you can save up to 75% off on your prescriptions. We recommend signing up for both free cards and then asking your pharmacist which one will get you the bigger discount.
