If
you
are
taking
a
prescription
drug,
chances
are
very
good
that
you
will
find
a
wealth
of
information
about
it,
and
how
to
get
it
for
less
in
Drugs
for
Less.
This
new
guide
provides
valuable
information
to
make
prescription
drugs
more
affordable
and
thus
more
accessible.
 Editorial
Review:
Dr.
Cecil
has
compiled
a
fantastic
amount
of
information
on
hundreds
of
prescription
medications,
listing
their
brand
names
and
generic
counterparts.
He
explains
who
makes
them,
how
they
are
priced,
how
they
get
from
the
pharmaceutical
manufacturer
to
your
pharmacy,
why
they
can
be
so
costly,
how
they
work,
what
conditions
they
treat,
and
most
importantly,
how
you
can
use
government
programs
and
manufacturer’s
patient
assistance
programs
to
obtain
your
prescriptions
free
or
at
a
reduced
cost.

He
explains
how
pill
splitting
gets
you
two
for
the
price
of
one
(get
your
physician’s
approval
before
using
that
one),
how
“shopping
around
can
save
you
money,
and
how
relying
on
“oldies
but
goodies”
can
help
keep
the
cash
in
your
wallet.
He
also
discusses
the
dangers
of
buying
medications
from
other
countries.
Drugs
for
Less
is
a
fascinating
glimpse
into
the
pharmaceutical
industry,
but
the
real
wealth
of
the
book
is
in
the
myriad
lists
of
drugs,
patient
assistance
programs,
addresses,
and
websites
that
you
can
access
for
free
or
low-cost
pharmaceuticals.
