JD on the blog Get Rich Slowly quotes a fellow named Tyler from Houston who was searching for the best generic drug deal. In his search he found two things. 1. The best deals were to be found at discount stores like Costco and Sam’s Club. I believe you can use their pharmacies even if you are not a member. 2. Every brand name prescription he received in a 2 year period had an online coupon available making it even cheaper than generic drugs.

I tested this hypothesis. I looked at the top 10 drugs prescribed in sheer numbers and by highest cost. When I searched online, I found each brand-name drug had a coupon associated.

One example is Lipitor. A top seller in the category “statins”. Statins are used to lower cholesterol and control or even reverse the effects of cholesterol in the arteries. On the official Lipitor site I found a free 30 day trial offer and a coupon worth $10-15 each time you filled Lipitor for 12 months.

On another site, Reduce Prescription Cost I found a list of links to coupons for popular drugs like Actos, Crestor, Cymbalta, Flomax, Nasonex, Premarin, Protonix, Valtrex and many others.

It is worth a search before you buy. To find Lipitor coupons I simply entered - Lipitor + coupon - into a Google search box. The number one choice was Lipitor Offers which contained the information in the link I highlighted above.

Other sites of interest are Internet Drug Coupons that has 216 coupons to download, and Synthroid.com. Many of the brand name drugs you may be taking have websites that will give you a coupon.

I hope you search these sites for coupons. Let me know if you have before or did after reading this. How did it go? Are coupons accepted by your pharmacy if you present the coupon with your prescription ? Leave me a comment about your experience please.
