Prescription drugs can start to become very costly here are just a few tips that may help you save some money off your prescription drugs

*  Ask your physician if generic drugs are an option. Generic drugs can cost several hundred dollars less to purchase annually than brand-name drugs.

* Shop out for the lowest-cost place to purchase prescription drugs. Make sure to check out not only your local pharmacist but also local supermarkets, area discount centers, and mail-order pharmacies.

* Purchase store brand over-the-counter medications. Store brand medications often cost 20-40 percent less than nationally advertised brands. The savings could easily exceed $100 a year.

* Use a free prescription drug discount card on prescription not covered by your insurance (note for a free Prescription discount card visit www.benefitdrugcard.com )
