“People have been unfortunately been trying to save money by cutting their pills and dosage in half, against their doctors orders,” Price said. “In the most extreme situations, people have been not taking their medication at all. Our UnitedRx card can save these people money and allow them to continue taking their important medication.”

Prescription drug discount cards (also known as “consumer cards,” “point of sale cards,” and “100% co-pay” cards) allow prescription drug users to save money on all types of prescription medications at more than 54,000 pharmacy locations nationwide. At the time of placing their prescription order, members simply present their card at a participating pharmacy to instantly receive substantial discounts on their prescription drugs.
