 | Many of the pharmaceutical companies have Patient Assistance Programs for patients without benefits and low-income families. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) publishes a directory of companies that provide drugs to physicians for patients who might not otherwise have access to needed medications. Ask your doctor if you qualify for any of these programs. In addition, you can apply directly to the pharmaceutical companies for assistance. |
