Are there any pharmacy discount cards that anyone uses? We are going to need any financial assistance available to begin any abx treatment. Thanks for all the help on this board.

We've found that different cards have to be used to maximize savings, depending on the drug that you're buying.

For example, on one drug the Walgreens discount card saves us $200, and on another drug goodrx.com gives us a price that's $150 less than what the Walgreens discount card gets us.

It pays to check out all the options for each prescription. Different pharmacies also have different $4 lists too, so it might help to check those as well.

Altogether the $20 Walgreens discount card seems to be a good value for most of my prescriptions.

Thank you all so much. Wow, there is so much to think about and learn. My girl can't even think to remember to eat some days. I am struggling to try and help her and hoping the new doc we see this month will get things started in a positive direction. I will be checking these all out.
