PECOS, March 7, 2001 - Is your medication too expensive for your budget?
Are you choosing between medicine and your meals? If so, information in a
new booklet might help.
The Prescription Assistance Coalition of Chicago, Ill. has just published
a booklet, "Prescription Drug Giveaway Programs." The booklet gives information
on how and where to get free and low-cost prescription drugs.
"There are over 70 programs from major drug manufacturers that provide
free or low cost medication. These programs are rarely, if ever publicized,"
says Chris Pongsak, a researcher at Prescription Assistance Coalition. "We've
published an A to Z listing of all the drugs that are available to certain
qualified groups for free or at very low cost directly from the manufacturer.
There are nearly 46 million Americans that are lacking health care insurance,
many of whom could benefit from the information in this booklet," he said.

postage and handling to: Central Fulfillment Center, Prescription Drug Giveaway
