I know there was a topic about FL, but the deal just got so much better. It's been over a week that Wal-Mart expanded the $4 Prescription to 27 States. I live in Nevada and I thrilled to be able to get it now. My girl's generic prescription use to cost $45 a month. She just started a new job and does not have insurance. Now at Wal-Mart they have the same generic for only $4. Saving her $41 a month. Heck $4 is actually cheaper then my co-pay so it's even a great deal for me. No telling how many people this will help.
Current states it in is now: AK, AL, AR, AZ, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, SD, TX, VA, VT.

WalMart is just using propaganda to help its tarnished image. Drugs include ibuprofen and amoxicillin; cheap drugs. You can find these generics cheap anywhere.

Some may be cheap already but many are not and don't expect to pay anything close to 4 dollars even for the cheapest.
Full list of 300+ prescriptions: http://i.WalMart.com/i/if/hmp/fusion/genericdruglist.pdf
Read where list is really about 145 or so different meds due to fact same drug different dosages is included in the 300 or so. If you shop in Wallmart your just supporting low wages and slavery for 3d world employees.

This is one of the greatest things I have seen in a long time.This will help so many people, and people can buy medications cheap not going through insurance, eliminating some preconditions on prescription records making getting new insurance easier with better coverage if need be and lower rates.i have read that the leading pharmacies arent going to react, but I think it will have an impact on them, hopefully causing them to put more pressure on rising prescription cost. If doctors would become very familiar with the list this will add more pressure.When paxilcr was off the market for a few months in 2005, patients were forced to have prescriptions replaced with regular paxil which has a generic.It was ridiculous the variation in prices, and that the generic at most places didnt differ much in price from the name brand.Walgreens, CVS, Osco all had rates around $120 for 60 20mg. WalMart was around $60. Now it will be $4. I just started new insurance with a $1,000 deductable so I have been paying full cost till that is reached.My paxilcr is over $200 a month. Seeing I could be paying $4 sure dows encourage me to give it a try again.

Say what you will about Wal-Mart, and frankly I don't shop there much either, but this will be a huge help to people without insurance or with high co-pays. It took a huge company with massive clout to be able to pull this off and defy the price-fixing drug companies and sellers to bring down the cost of generic drugs this much. One warning - be very careful about some generics. I'm on Synthroid for a low thyroid condition. My druggist suggested a couple of years ago that I might like to try the generic version as it would be much cheaper and was as effective as Synthroid for most people, and if it didn't work for me, he'd take it back and give me Synthroid instead. I took the generic for 4 days, and believe me it was not effective at all. I have to have the brand name Synthroid.

Wrong. But even if that were true, this isn't the place. Take it somewhere else. Also, it's called Wal-Mart, not Wallmart. And I forgot: you're, not your. If you want to make a political statement, you should try not to sound like an idiot while doing it.

I take LEVOXYL 125MCG for my hypothyroidism..Nothing else works..Levoxyl itself is generic but none of the other generics work in my case.

Thats a very common misconception many people have that they have to have brand names only... Half life of synthroid is very long and by taking just 4 days of generic thyroid medication doesn't alter anything in your body nor does it produces any symptoms. Efficacy of the thyroid drug can only be measures at 8-12 weeks by doing a simple blood test - TSH. Hope this helps
I work in indigent clinic and treat around 800 hypothyroid patients. Almost all of my patients are on generic thyroid medication (none I can recall who takes synthroid) and all of they are preety stable as far as their thyroid problem goes.

Thanks for the information, mnsweeps. I'll check that out next time my prescription needs to be renewed.
