Explore manufacturer coupons and patient assistance programs. Pfizer offers its own programs; check their website for details and eligibility requirements. These can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Investigate state and federal programs. The Patient Assistance Foundation (PAF) and NeedyMeds are valuable resources, providing information on various programs based on income and other factors. Many programs offer assistance for brand-name medications like Viagra.
Consider using a prescription discount card. Several companies provide cards offering discounts on prescription medications at participating pharmacies. These cards can be especially helpful if you don’t qualify for other assistance programs. Compare various cards to find the best deal for your specific needs.
Always verify your eligibility for each program. Income limits and other restrictions apply to many assistance programs. Contact the program administrator directly to confirm eligibility before relying on the assistance.
Negotiate with your pharmacy. Some pharmacies are willing to offer price adjustments or payment plans. Don’t hesitate to ask–it never hurts to inquire about available options.
