Just under two weeks ago, JT and I saw a news report on Fox 2 St. Louis about a new free drug program at Schnucks Pharmacy. The prescription is free regardless of insurance provider.

I am very excited about this program. JT and I will be going to Schnucks tomorrow to get penicillin filled for William. Because he has sickle cell disease, he takes penicillin twice a day to help fight infection. He has been taking it since he was 2 months old.
Any money saved due to this free program will help out the family’s expenses.
If you live near a Schnucks Pharmacy, do consider this free program for you and your family.
I am a single mom who cannot afford health insurance for my self at this time. I work in a lab part-time so I was able to test myself at a discounted rate for strep throat. After testing positive, I had to find a place to get a prescription since I don’t have a primary health care provider. I went to a walk-in clinic to get a prescription for strep throat. I was horrified when I found out the cost to just get a script was $74. That didn’t even include the antibiotic. After my clinic visit, I was doing some internet searching to find the nearest and cheapest pharmacy. I was amazed to read that the St. Louis Schnucks Pharmacy’s offered free antibiotics. This month has been extremely hard on my finances, so the free antibiotic was wonderful news. Thank you very much for offering a program that helps out this struggling single mom.
The free Prescription Drug Program for Generic Oral Antibiotics is really a very good program which helps those who can not afford to buy costly antibiotics. I appreciate this kind of programs bought forward for human health.
Yup, your right affordable generic drug what an awesome program.
