WASHINGTON DC:
Prescription drug overdose is now the fastest-growing drug problem in the country, surpassing the number of people who overdosed during both the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and the black tar heroin epidemic of the 1970s combined, the Obama administration says.
Thirty-five states already have prescription drug monitoring programs in place that help track how prescriptions are prescribed and distributed by authorized healthcare providers and pharmacies.

THE BEST THING EVER
I use and found out about needy meds in 2004. I used them for about 2 years until I got health insurance. I then lost my job and my health insurance and I have just started using them this year. I am not working at this time and searching for work, but I could in no way afford to pay $220 for a month's supply of one medication I am on and $180 for another. This is the best thing ever and I recommend Needy Meds to everyone who do not know about it, especially people I know with no health insurance and low or no income.--Detroit

Up To 80% On Your Prescriptions
You should never have to pay full price for your medications.
NeedyMeds, a national non-profit organization, is here to help you. In partnership with Girlfriends, we are offering a new drug discount card that can save you up to 80% on medications just for you loyal readers.
If you do not have prescription drug coverage:
Use this card any time you have to fill a prescription, so you never have to pay the full cash price.
If you do have health insurance:
Whether you have public insurance like Medicare or Medicaid or a private insurance provider, the card can still help you. Any time you have a medication not covered, you have a high co-pay or you are in a coverage gap, like the Medicare Part D Donut Hole, try using the card instead of your insurance to get a discount! You just can’t combine the card with your insurance.
Also, this card can be used on anything written as a prescription. If your doctor writes any over-the-counter medications or medical supplies as a prescription, you can use the card to get a discount. You can even use it on pet prescriptions you can pick up at a pharmacy.
The card is accepted at over 61,000 pharmacies nationwide including all of the major chains.

Discount Drug Card!
Talk to your healthcare provider. If drug costs are an issue, tell your doctor. Too often physicians prescribe the newest drug, even though an established medicine may work better and cost less.
Even when generics aren't available, doctors have other lower-cost options, such as prescribing another drug in the same therapeutic class or even within a different class.
