INDIGENT DRUG PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
I realize that many of you are not aware of the indigent drug programs avialable to you through
the individual drug companies. Your physician must apply to these programs on your behalf, but you can call, or write them and obtain the applications and information yourself.
Amounts and eligibility will vary greatly from program to program.
Pharmaceutical companies are required by law to provide detailed descriptions about the drugs
that they manufacture, but many also produce more general information for the public about the diseases their drugs treat also.
Below is a listing of pharmaceutical companies that provide the indigent drug programs:
