Haveing a hard time finding help with assistance of meds. Does anyone have info. With an agency that can help? It seems that if your on Medicare you can't get any help. If We're not on Medicare I could get my meds for free in so e circumstances. How crazy is that.

If you need help with general medication then cost compare drug prices at different pharmacies. We are going to save about $2000 this year on four different meds just by switching pharmacies.

If you need help with main MS medications you can contact the below places to see if they can help you.

Have you talked to your neuro's office about getting cheap drugs?
Many of the drug companies have programs to help folks with low incomes. When I was diagnosed I got on the poor boy discount program with Bayer and I get Betaseron shots for $50/mo. Without help I could not afford the shots.

Also call the Manufacturer of the Drug. I get my Ampyra free due to income. My CRAB drugs, when I was on them, also gave me a discount!

I get my meds free for MS! All drug manufacturers have assistance programs. My Tecfidera costs about $1,600.00 a month! Even my insurance company couldn't afford that! Like someone said, don't give up!
