Most drug manufacturers sponsor what's called "Patient Assistance
Programs". These programs are intended to help those who otherwise
can't afford prescription drugs. This could include those who do not
have health insurance or seniors not covered by Medicare. If you are
approved, they say it only takes two to three weeks to get your first month's
supply of medications.
Two places to help you find patient assistance programs for which you
or a family member may qualify are:
