Video Transcript

Medicine can be expensive. But there are ways to get it for less, like using generic medicines. Generics are less expensive versions of brand-name medicines. For most people, they work just as well as the brand names, but they cost less. Talk to your doctor to see if generics might work for you. And shop online and at local pharmacies for the best price. Some organizations can help people in need get medicines for less--sometimes for free.

Talk with your doctor, pharmacist, and insurance company too.

There are lots of things you can try to get the medicines you need at a cost you can afford.
