For a new prescription, you can lower your costs by not buying a whole bottle right away. You can ask for just a few pills just to see if you will not have any side effects or allergies from the medication. If you buy a whole bottle, it will be a waste if you will have to switch after discovering the side effects or allergies. However, if you buy just a few pills, you won’t be stuck with a costly bottle of medicine you can’t take.
For ongoing conditions, buy medications in the largest quantities you can. You can also call around for the lowest price. Usually, pharmacy prices can vary greatly so if you find a drug cheaper elsewhere, ask your regular pharmacist if he or she can match the price.
