How to Get Cheap Medication Online

High-priced drugs have been sparking outrage for years. At the height of the scandals, Martin Shkreli, former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, was making headlines for hiking Daraprim prices from $13.50 to $750.

While that’s an extreme case, the truth is that little has been done to bring down the prices of medicines in the US. The act of going to the pharmacy can put an incredible dent in the average wallet.

But going to the pharmacy doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’re wondering how to pay for what you need, here’s how to save money by buying cheap medication online.

Buy Generic Alternatives

If there’s a generic alternative to your name-brand prescription, it’s often cheaper to opt for that instead. Make sure that the generic medicine uses the same active ingredients as your usual prescription, of course, and check for any inactive ingredients you want to avoid. Generic drugs can be several times cheaper than a full-priced brand-name option, so it’s a significant discount!

Use an FSA or HSA

If your employer offers a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) as part of your benefits, you may be able to use it to pay for certain medicines. Consult with your online pharmacy before you buy.

Shop Around

This is one of the best tips for saving money in general, but it’s especially true online. You’ll need to do your homework to find a cheap pharmacy. If you’re purchasing multiple medications, you may even want to get them from different pharmacies, based on the price.

Use Coupons and Discounts

We tend to forget that coupons go beyond what we buy in the grocery store, but the right discount can be a significant deal. For example, certain medicines like Farxiga offer coupon codes to lower the costs, so read more for yourself here.

In some cases, you’ll have to do some online sleuthing: check manufacturers’ websites, and do a simple Google search with the product name and the word “coupon” to see what comes up. Don’t forget to also see if your online pharmacy offers any kind of loyalty program for ongoing deals!

Buy More

If you know you’ll be using a certain medicine for a while, it sometimes pays to buy in bulk. You’ll often find lower prices per unit when you purchase in larger sizes, so grab a bigger quantity as long as you can find a place to store it.

Find Cheap Medication Online

Taking care of the health shouldn’t hurt your wallet, and with these tips, it doesn’t need to. With a little research and effort, you can find better prices for the medicines you need most. Start looking for cheap medication online today!
