    Posted at 11:29 pm by kayewer, on August 22, 2009

    My prescription medication was a bit expensive, so when I went to see my doctor I asked, as my prescription provider recommended, that I be given a generic version of the drug I was taking.  Unfortunately there is none, partly because it’s a combo and not past its patent expiration date, I guess.  So he dutifully put me on the half of the drug that mattered, and in a slightly higher dose to make up for the missing half.

    In a month, I’ve gained four pounds.

    So what do I do, go back on the original drug and be four pounds lighter and broke, or try another change by adding a second drug to my medicine cabinet?

      Whatever you do, DON’T pay full price for your prescriptions…

      The Mobile Rx Card is completely free and it can save you 10-85% on brand/generic prescriptions, smoking cessation aids and diabetes supplies. Get a card at http://www.mobilerxcard.com, show it to your pharmacist at time of service and your discount will be applied immediately. It’s that simple. Use your card over and over again, and you can even share it with your friends and family.

      Just give it a try… you have nothing to lose (and a lot of $$ to gain) since it’s completely free.
