What should I do if I cannot afford my medication?

Here are some options you may have if you cannot afford your medication.

1. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to change your prescription to a lower-cost medication that works the same way.
2. Ask about generic medications. These have the same active ingredients as brand-name medications but usually cost less.
3. Check your insurance plan. Some insurance plans offer extra help for certain medications. You can review your plan or contact your insurance company to ask about your coverage options.
4. Ask your pharmacy about possible payment plan options. Your pharmacy may be able to work with you to find a better option.
