Title: GSK Prescription assistance
Post by mcf69 on Oct 6^th, 2006, 12:06am

Glaxo Smith Kline has a couple programs available for assistance for those who cannot afford prescription coverage for Imitrex and other drugs in the US. I have personally used the Bridges to Access program when I went back to college and had no prescription coverage. It is very easy to enroll in and very convienient, your doctor's office sends the info to GSK and they contact the pharmacy in your area who participates, and you go pick up your prescription. I think I ended up paying $20 for 12 statdose refills. If anyone is having problems paying for your trex I strongly encourage you to visit the websites below:

GSK Prescription Assistance programs:

Bridges to Access program:

The third site, PPA will help you determine what programs you are eligible through both GSK and your state:

Good post ! Great info to pass along. Hopefully it will help someone !

I used the patient assistance program years ago. You'll still need a doc to fill out paperwork and do some faxing for you.... but in the long run, it'll save you a ton of ca$h !

And if you need help with other RX's you really might want to visit [url][/url]www.needymeds.com. Find your med, then go to the pharmaceutical patients assistance program-you can also find out if there is a generic available. You can also compare online with Costco, AARP, canadian pharmacies....if anyone needs help with this, please PM me. I set up a program for Medicare folks in northern california to help them find affordable meds or programs. I don't charge for this ;;D
Thanks for the info on GSK-Bridges to Access required an advocate-unfortunately my number is no longer active.
PFDAN y'all
