How to Save on Prescription Drugs Book Review

Wish I had read this book years earlier! A must read for people especially using monthly medications on a consistent basis. I learned some tips that really helped save out of pocket money (which is what really counts), and great advice for some needed conversations with my doctor. Everyone should read this!

DO YOUR POCKETBOOK A FAVOR, BUY THIS BOOK.

Nobody should be trying to navigate today's prescription drug costs without having access to the kind of information contained in this book. It is appropriate for Medicare patients, people in group health plans and individuals just trying to get a fair break on buying the medicines they need. As a Medicare patient the methods in this book saved me about 50% over the cost of buying a Part D drug plan. My son, recovering from encephalitis and without drug insurance coverage or the ability to work was able to reduce his cost for very expensive maintenance medicines to practically zero through the drug manufacturer programs identified and explained in this book. A real Godsend to my family! The book is specific, timely, well written, easy to read and contains most, if not all, of the information you will need to be a better buyer when it comes to the medicines you need. It brings together in one place a wealth of information that would take someone like me weeks or months to search out on the web. And, that's even if I knew the right questions to ask (I don`t). This book provides you with tools you need to work more effectively with your doctor, to save on the prescriptions you need and in a multitude of ways to be a more actively engaged patient and an advocate for your own better health care. I give it five stars and think this is an extremely informative must-buy book that should be on every health care consumers shelf.

Best Book on Medications I've Read

Long known as a patient advocate in his home town of Templeton, California, this busy family doctor has a special interest in the subject of medication and a passion for helping his patients keep drug costs to a minimum. The son of a physician, with three brothers who are also physicians, he has been well-steeped in pharmacological and medical issues for most of his life. This book is an exceptional bounty of knowledge written for the common patients' pharmacy needs in an inflationary economy in which many people have little income and no health insurance. On a personal level, this book has changed how my husband and myself talk to our physicians about our medication issues and has help cut our drug expenses in half.
