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.
The free Prescription Drug Program for Generic Oral Antibiotics includes up to a 21-day supply, as well as prescribed refills, of the following seven classes of antibiotics:
For Drug Descriptions and Item Sizes included in the program go to the site and click on a drug title for more information:
• Amoxicillin (Generic for Amoxil) - capsules and oral suspension
• Ampicillin - capsules and oral suspension
• Ciprofloxacin (Generic for Cipro) - tablets
• Doxycycline - capsules
• Erythromycin - tablets, oral suspension and capsules
• Penicillin - tablets and oral suspension
• Trimeth/Sulfa (Generic for Septra or Bactrim)
Schnucks Pharmacies are located throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Wisconsin. To find out if a location is near you go to: http://www.schnucks.com/stores/query.asp?pharmacy=Y&feature=pharmacy
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.
