GoodRx: Prescription Saver Reviews

I am in recovery for a bad opiate problem I had. I have been clean and sober for going on 2 1/2 years I am very proud of myself for that it was extremely difficult. But the only reason I was able to do it is because of the treatment that I received from my doctor. I guess he is a psychiatrist and a treatment specialist. The meds that I have been taking I want gave me the ability to stop relying on the opiates. But my insurance was just recently canceled because I haven’t been able to work due to the coronavirus pandemic and my prescriptions were going to cost me about $350 a month on top of paying for my doctor visit every month I wouldn’t be able to afford that because of this pandemic. Fortunately somebody recommended good RX to me and it saved me $200 on my monthly meds. If it wasn’t for that I am afraid of what would happen to me if I did not have these meds. If it wasn’t for this app I don’t know if I would be able to continue on the path that I am on which is the one I want to stay on if you need some help getting your prescriptions I recommend good RX to you. It is extremely valuable and will save you a lot of money. Good luck to you all and thanks to the makers of good RX if it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I’d be thank you

I have been using GoodRx for some meds for migraines, and I was impressed by the amount that people could save with GoodRx! I also think it’s great for those who don’t have insurance or have limited insurance (HMOs, etc.), since people should be able to get the best medications for them. However, I have experienced trying to get one medication and my pharmacy knew it was no longer available—the FDA has concerns that really irritate me since it isn’t a controlled substance, but they worry that people can get one of the ingredients OTC, and this could lead to liver (and possibly kidney) problems—mainly liver toxicity. But they only give a small amount of them anyway, and taking the OTC would do nothing for those with migraines that would cause a physician to prescribe this medication anyway. Nothing has stopped my intractable migraines, but I had 2 that helped for a while—I could have a little break! I use other methods for relief and pray. I can still find the coupon for this medication in my area, and that’s just not good! What other meds might still be on GoodRx ? I thought the developer was up to date on the different meds in different ways from articles and other information I’ve read and seen. But now I’m not so sure. Please keep the information updated so that patients aren’t unaware. I appreciate that you have helped a lot of people and hopefully can still use GoodRx for myself and others. But it is important to be updated. Thank you!

I absolutely love and recommend this app! I lost my insurance in January and have now gotten my new insurance. During that time span I started using this app. I couldn’t believe how cheap some of my medications were! I have been taking multiple medications for years and paying $20 copay on almost every script that I have and my husbands as well. While I have been using this app I have been paying less than my copayments were on my medications. Now that I have insurance again idk if I should continue using this app or use my insurance and pay my copayments. The reason being is that last year I met my out of pocket and had a zero copay on my medicines for several months, however my family out of pocket wasn’t met so my husbands copays still had to be met. I know I will facing many medical bills this year as well but I don’t know if I will meet my out of pocket though so I’m not sure what I’ll do yet. If you don’t have insurance though I definitely would download GoodRx and start using it. It will save you quite a bit of money for sure. Most pharmacies I have dealt with will not accept both insurance and another discount card or app for medications. They will only use one or the other. Get GoodRx and enjoy your extra money that you will save!

I have no Rx insurance and was denied assistance when I had to (so i thought) leave a public sector job. Hmm Now i rely on good Rx as they have been literally life saving. I will openly and unapologetically say that being employed by the state department of health in Florida contributed as the major factor of the decline of my physical and mental health. I didn't find out about this app until i had no income and chose to fight for each step toward being healthier. I still use GoodRx as the savings are jaw-dropping hella good. More than private insurance. Pharmaceutical companies and even the dispensing pharmacies often mark-up the selling price of a medication. For example, one medication is valued on un-named pharmacy’s manifest of purchases as $7 cost paid to the manufacturer but attempted to charge unnamed consumer $91 for a nasal spray which soon after is on the shelves in both brand and generic (who could it be?). So enjoy saving money and always question authority. Help each other is what i would like as a consumer. There’s so much hate by default when our similarities and differences are how we learn and we teach embracing and sharing kindness. Be the change. - Ya’ll asked for it and obviously ...

this app advertises savings on drugs not covered by insurance and their pricing is lower than the cost of the drug to the pharmacy. One has to ask why would a pharmacy sign up to lose money. Big Y Foods pharmacy answer I found out was that they did not sign up with this app. CVS answer was we will not honor the this app price but they referred me to Walgreen who would honor the price but first needed the prescription to verify the price. They tried to have the prescription transferred from a Walmart pharmacy and had a problem but never contacted me. I called and they explained why they did not have the prescription. I told them how to fix the issue and reminded them not to order the prescription until they quoted me a price. I stopped by Walgreen’s pharmacy a few days later and found they ordered me the name brand drug for $1,000. this app quotes Walgreens’ at $177. I declined the name brand drug and they then ordered the generic. While I was there I had the store clerk quickly verify the this app price and he placed the order for the next day. I am puzzled why they couldn’t verify the price of the generic over the phone initially? But perseverance of multiple phone calls, confusion about prescription transfer, filling a prescription incorrectly but the end result was I saved $473. this app is not easy but if you have the time and energy for quite a run around you too can save money with this app.

Have saved literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of $ on expensive drugs since I started using it a few months ago. Didn’t try it initially when I first heard about it because I thought it was some kind of scam. Then my doctor’s office gave me a referral to GoodRx . Of course, that legitimized it for me. My pharmacist at CVC told me this is killing them their prices are being so undercut.
Drug prices vary outrageously from pharmacy. Good Rx allows you to choose your lowest price then buy at that pharmacy.
This is how it works. Just anonymously enter your med name, dosage and how many pills a mo you take and a list will come up with pharmacies near you and their prices so you can compare. Choose the one you want, go to that pharmacy and give them your Rx. Show them on your ph their price for that med and they’ll sell it to you for that amount. Just like that! Unbelievable! But not unbelievable to your wallet. I watch and my prescriptions come in the bottles from the manufacturers so it’s not like any switches are made by the pharmacy. You don’t show them their Good Rx pricing on your ph until you’re ready to pay.
Also, very easy to transfer your existing Rx from your high price pharmacy to them.

I have been purchasing prescriptions (and some OTC drugs, which require a prescription) through Good Rx Gold and Good Rx Coupons, for about 6 or 7 months. I purchased the “Individual” plan, and I consider it as the best $5.99 per month that I have ever spent. To be clear, I have saved over $1300 in drug costs, since I began my subscription. To say that I am “Blown Away” would be putting it mildly!!! The one drawback is that one may have to use several different pharmacies to purchase his/her medications. This is because the drugs have different costs at different pharmacies. HOWEVER, with the amazing app and by inputting the formulary, one knows the cost of the drug (or an excellent approximation), prior to making the purchase. This may be a little inconvenient for the doctor, because to order a prescription electronically, they would first have to share their purchase plan with the patient (so that the patient can determine where would be the best price). However, I have yet to have a doctor to complain about having to do this, because I think that they know how much savings are realized by their patients. BRAVO, GOOD RX and GOOD RX GOLD!!!

GoodRx makes what can be a harrowing chore actually bearable. It’s easy to find what medications you’re looking for, and GoodRx tells you the cheapest place around to buy it, because this app knows that prohibitive cost is the last thing you need to worry about when you’re dealing with whatever actual issue requires a prescription.

this app makes it easy. And sometimes making it easy is just about reminding us there’s other humans all around.

Please give the employee who writes the mobile app “Update Notes” a big heartfelt THANK-YOU from me, (and also a raise? You should always listen to customer feedback you know!) because gearing up to struggle with all the complications and stress of illness and medications and money, and instead reading the breath of fresh air that is an entertaining this app update log... the spark of joy, the simple reminder that there’s a person on the other end of the impersonal Internet, one who knows I’m a person too, made all the rest conquerable, even if just for one day. And the smallest speck of happiness and humanity can make all the difference “in these trying times.”

I do not understand how there can be so much variation on the same medications. The need some kind of regulation. this app is as good or sometimes better than actual health Insurance that you pay for. This is a FREE app, I don’t think drug prices should be like the stock market, and that is exactly how it is in the United States. We are the only developed country in the world that does not have some type of government oversight on what pharmaceutical companies can charge for medications. That’s why a lot of medications in Canada and Mexico are a fraction of what they charge for the same dug in the United States. The government should contract with this app to do that. It looks like they already have the infrastructure to at least get it started.
Before this app was around, I remember going to 3 different Walgreens in Ft. Myers on the same day to get my Androgel filled. I got 3 different prices from the same company ranging from $800-$1800. Why can’t medications be close to the same price wherever you go? Like gasoline or the price of beef per lb. Something needs to be done, this is the biggest problem within our healthcare system. Go for it this app, go to congress and get it done!

I’ve been using Good Rx since around 2014. Thankfully I found them through a caring worker a lot a Local Phamacy. The Pharmacist assistant was belittling me because I was questioning the drastic change in my prescription meds I had been on for years and was told If I couldn’t afford the medication I could feel free to go to another pharmacy. Before leaving which I did and never looked back a nice coworker of theirs heard the discussion and realized I was shocked at how rude the lady behind the register was. Luckily at the time I had good insurance which surprisingly Good RX was cheaper than going through my insurance. Due to health problems I lost that good insurance and Good Rx has been a life savor. I have used it ever since. Especially now that due to my health conditions my insurance has once again been canceled. I can still afford my 5 prescriptions that keep me alive thanks to this app. Just leaving the hospital yet again with the comfort of knowing that the new blood thinner they have prescribed me will not bankrupt me due to no insurance. The Hospital is another story. Thanks from the bottom of my irregular beating heart for being there for me. 🤩🙏🏼😎

I was diagnosed with breast cancer. They started me on hormones and I paid $250 for a 90 day script. Then my treatment changed because I needed chemo. So I was prescribed something different and I mentioned to my doctor about what I paid for the first. He was stunned. He gave me a Good Rx card and looked up the hormones, I could have paid only $15 for them with Good Rx. When Walgreens told me $500+ for my 2 new prescriptions, I asked if they didn't have the discount cards, and was offered a $20/mo membership with them that would bring my prescriptions price down to $108 Somehow I couldn't accept that either. I loaded GoodRx to my phone, compared prices and called Hy-Vee to ask about moving my prescriptions. The pharmacist I spoke to at Hy-Vee did get my scripts transferred and she was really helpful. I paid under $25 that was fantastic! Imagine if I never asked, Dillons would have let me pay $1,000 for 4 x hormones. The only thing that could be greater is if they would give me back the $235 they made me over pay, but with Good Rx I feel pretty confident that it's the best way to go. And I highly recommend having this card, I'm really happy to have it!

Short story: I will never be without the this app on my phone!! Read on if you want to know why. 😉

I discovered this app when my dog needed expensive eye drops. The vet had the this app cards in the exam room. I’m so glad I did because after that, my husband and I transitioned to a high deductible plan which meant paying the full insurance prices until our deductible was met. I started shopping around using GoodRx to compare prices for the medications we needed and was happy to see we could save A LOT of money!! 💰

In the past two years, I’ve had multiple major reconstructive surgeries on my hands/wrists/arms and had to be on narcotic pain relievers afterward. New regulations made it easy for my insurance to deny me access to the medications my doctor prescribed even though I had met my very large out of pocket max for the year. this app prices gave me an affordable alternative which allowed me to avoid the hassle of getting my insurance to pay...which would have meant suffering in pain while fighting with them! I am grateful I had access to an alternative that didn’t cost me a fortune. I tell everyone that will listen to check out this app!! 😁

I lost all my medications while traveling to visit a friend in another state. I was under the impression that if my doctors office ordered a replacement prescription for me my insurance would cover the medication. NO! I was stunned at the price of the medication and I called Humana only to find out that after years of being my insurance company, my insurance did not cover lost or stolen medication. If not for GoodRx that saved me hundreds of dollars I really did not know what I was going to do. The pharmacy manager at Walgreens in Eureka Missouri was so kind and respected my situation and told me about GoodRx. I was great full for the information that saved me so much money. I am talking in the hundreds of dollars. I hope someone like her is in every pharmacy and helps a customer in shock because they cannot pay for medicine that is important for their health. She could of not cared about my plight but she listened and told me about Good RX and excepted the coupons even after I had already paid the full price. She refunded my credit card and was so understanding and professional that someone should be aware of what she did for a customer in distress. Thank goodness for GoodRx.

We live in Tennessee and we have good RX gold first of all for 999 per month it’s the best $10 a month we have ever spent because it saves us so much money we don’t even use my husband‘s insurance card through CVS because they were pre-authorizations only want to fill for seven days so you have to make two trips out to the pharmacy with good RX we save more money than our regular insurance co-pay we have never even used our insurance card through General Motors because of the CVS co-pay is so much. For example my husband was traveling to Omaha Nebraska the Hy-Vee pharmacy told them that they would not fill his narcotic because they didn’t except good RX for narcotics I called good RX customer service because Hy-Vee pharmacy is listed on the good RX as taking good RX by again and the good RX gold customer I do not get the free app I paid $10 a month the customerService representative called the Hy-Vee pharmacy herself and straightened out the problem they did a good RX gold for narcotics just not the free good RX appSo we were able to save over $204 on that particular medication thanks to the good RX gold customer service representative

So I’ve had GoodRx downloaded for probably 2 years with 0 use because I just don’t really get sick. Well I’ve been miserable for 5 days and finally decided to cough up 60$ to do a web cam visit with a doctor (god I love technology). I don’t have health insurance and urgent cares can get extremely expensive, especially with me pretty much knowing my diagnosis. Web cam doctor confirms that I more than likely have strep throat and sends my antibiotics to my pharmacy. I’ve done this before without insurance and I got really nervous about how much the pharmacy would charge me without insurance. I pull up my this app app and think there’s no way possible 30 antibiotics are going to be less than 10$. I can’t even get over the counter meds less than 10$. Well I was full of anxiety wondering if it was going to work or cost me upwards of 100$ for my medicine. It worked to my surprise and I’m a believer!! I’m a forever customer and I feel like I owed them this review. Thank you this app. I don’t know how you do it but thank you.

I haven’t had health insurance in over five years, maybe longer and I have four different prescriptions a month as a result of being in a car accident and one of my doctors offices had a this app card in it. Well I picked it up and then went on the website and looked up the prices I could have been paying for medication.. this app has saved me more money than I could imagine, just recently it started saving me $208 a month on just one prescription!! That’s $2,500 a year in savings!! Over the last four or five years it has probably saved me over close to $7,500!! Download this now if you have multiple prescriptions or don’t have insurance like me and start saving now! The only tiny and sometimes annoying catch is that you may have to go out of your way a bit to get the best price but I’m willing to drive an extra 25 minutes to save $208/month on just one prescription. All in all this app is an amazing program or whatever/however it works I’m not sure but if you require medication download GoodRx and start saving now!!

The Costco in Memphis Tennessee doesn’t honor the price posted on the Bogus RX app even after telling me over the phone they do. After being informed over the phone by Costco that they would honor the price I told them to go ahead and fill the prescription. When I go to pick up the prescription I find that they would not honor the price however they did discount it some. It was the last refill remaining on the prescription and being tired of being misled and lied to I decided to give Kroger to shot at honoring the price. Of course Kroger like other pharmacies in the area I live in require prescription be transfers to them before they will give you a price. How convenient! And of course Costco counted the prescription I did not pick up as the final refill and there wonderful automated personal high-quality automated service text me and asked me if I would like for them to contact my doctor. I said yes and then ask Kroger to have the prescription transferred to them. That was three days ago and I still haven’t heard a word from Kroger. Kroger did admit to me that they have to have the prescription before they could give me a price and that it doesn’t always match what GoodRx says that they will sell it for. More smoke and mirrors, more bait and switch. Don’t waste your time with GoodRx!

For about a decade now, I’ve been using this internet site and app as my go-to expert consultant for strait forward information about the meds I take, normal dosing parameters, potential side-effects, alternate drug options, and price comparison.

GoodRx informs me of various options for the meds I depend upon, and it lets me know when genetics become available, where to shop when my health plan options are more costly, and helps me formulate practical questions to ask my pharmacist, insurance carrier, and my primary care doc. It lets me have more control over the choices I make for my own health and well-being. I no longer depend solely on my doctor and pharmacist, because this app has become my “outside-the-box” expert advisor, which lets me take a more active role in my own health choices. Over time I’ve been able to try different newer med combination options to discover which regimen seems to work best for me at a lower, more reasonable cost. This would not have been possible had there not been a readily available expert advisor like this app.

Thank you very much !!! I don’t know what I would have done without it. My spouse passed away recently from GBM. I suddenly had no medical insurance and my husband had been the breadwinner while I had taken care of my grandsons and also been homemaker and sadly been diagnosed with arthritis in all my joints as well as fibromyalgia and CFS. I have to be able to take care of a farm, farm animals and working dogs, among other responsibilities. It’s so difficult to go through such grief and mourning and still have to go on. Without this app I JUST WOOILD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD MY MEDICATIONS and be able to push through and get things done on the farm. My only disappointment is that we don’t have a pharmacy which would offer a good price ( with this app) on lidocaine patches 5% ( 90 a month), prescribed by my GP. On my husbands insurance/ drug plan, it only cost $10 for 90 patches. It helped so much for the chronic pain and was at least one less medication that went through my digestive system. Praying for a way to get that at a decent price. God bless you all.

This fantastic service helps me as a physician to help my patients beat the unreasonable and unforgiving pharmacists, health insurance companies and big Pharma. It’s still disheartening that I have to tell patients that the pharmacists will not voluntarily tell them that they can pay less if they pay cash than if they use their “health insurance”. The pharmacists always take the highest price, and only render the lower price when the patient knows they have the right to receive a lower cash pay price. The health insurers are in cahoots with the pharmacist in this cheat. And of course the health insurers are taking over the pharmacy industry by directing patients to “pharmacy benefit managers” who work really hard at benefiting them selves.
Good RX works so well, I’m waiting any day for it to disappear after being purchased by one of the evil “pharmacy benefit managers”. They are “managing” things all right. They’re bringing healthcare to a screeching halt by requiring prior authorization for healthcare that actually benefits people. They don’t want people to receive healthcare that works. They are only interested in enriching themselves.

At the end of the horrible circumstantial year of 2019 my spouse not only lost her job but also our medical insurance. My wife is healthy for the most part but as for me, I suffer from repeated seizures, 6 herniated discs and a slew of Other things. High blood pressure which need multiple medications, a heart rate monitor and also found out in a MRI for my back @ discs that I needed my Gallbladder out which became emerge, even more so over my back and my seizures. Many meds that help with those types of ailments are extremely high in costs. There would be no way I couldn’t been ok and stayed out the hospital w/o these crucial medications. With this app it helped me afford them, especially w their coupons! The only thing I would like to see evolve this company is that coupons can be used for pain medication/back spasm meds or my anxiety meds. Apparently, discounts and coupons cannot be used on control medications which is beyond difficult. That is how people with 6 injured discs who are on the line for back fusion but can’t afford it would make life livable and it would leave the patient feeling independent and able to do things wo always be controlled or told
No right away. Revisions of this medication company would save money, patient care would go up which is 2019 is dead but I pray it can be turned out. Other than life! this app is awesome! It makes sometimes the impossible possible!

Healthcare in the USA is awfully expensive. I’ve been paying $2380 for a 90 day supply of my antiviral hepatitis B medication for years. I have a $7000 deductible to meet yearly before my Blue Cross Blue Shield pays 80 % until $13,500 out of pocket cap. One doctor mentioned about this app. So I downloaded GoodRx to see if it can safe me a few dollars. To my surprise, GoodRx showed coupon prices ranging from $164 to $545 for a 90 day supply of this pill from various pharmacies. I was skeptical about it. But I wanted to try anyway. I transferred my prescription from Rite Aid to Safeway as Safeway has the lowest coupon price of $164. The Safeway pharmacist told me it’s $2385 for my 90 day pills before I showed her my this app coupon. I showed her my app coupon and asked if it works. She said “IT WORK “and I paid $164 for the same medication that would have costed me $2385. It’s a 93% Saving. I don’t understand how and why this happened. But I’ve been using this app app for all my family members’ medications. I told all my friends and relatives about it. this app App is a life saving tool for a lot of people. Thank You this app !!!!!

About a year or so ago, I lost my job and my medical insurance for a short period of time until I was eligible for insurance at my new job. I had to have my doctor change the medication I take from an extended release form to an instant release form because the cash price was cheaper for the generic. Not a big deal but I preferred the other med because it was better overall for my daily medicinal needs.

Thank goodness I only paid the “cash price” for one month at the local small town pharmacy next to my doctor’s office. I was fortunate enough to hear about this app on a various internet ad and looked into it. GoodRx took my cash price from $136 down to $15 for the 7 months that I had no employer insurance! Thank you for saving me money during my times of unemployment and times of waiting for employee prescription insurance coverage!!!! this app is truly a financial lifesaver during hard times and can even save you money against your regular insurance so always compare prices with this app before filling any new medications!

My first time, unfortunately. I could’ve saved sooo much money in the past if I had known about this😔 So.. I had my prescription called in to a different pharmacy due to the one in my doctor’s office being closed for remodeling. It’s normally $20 even there. The pharmacies near were a Publix and a CVS. At Publix it was $87 and at cvs it was $98. Something told me to google apps that could possibly save me money. I remember reading or hearing about that somewhere at some time. I ended up downloading GoodRx, after reading the reviews, and giving it a shot. When I tell you the coupon it gave me for public showed the price of $37!! BUT when he scanned the coupon off of my phone, it went even lower.. to $33!! No complaints, wxcept I wish I had known way sooner! Just such a shame they won’t tell you about this!! As a single parent trying to make ends meet, like ALOT of us are, I’m sure, any help is always needed! Thank you soooooo much for GoodRx and the help you provide!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼 Again.. I’m just in shock.. this is truly unbelievable!

Like the title says. GoodRx literally saved me over $100 the first time I used it! No joke! I had to go to another pharmacy but it wasn’t a problem.
When I first went to get some new meds filled, I was shocked that they were about $118. To us, that’s a lot. The young man, pharmacy tech saw that in our eyes, and said “That’s a lot of money, most doctors have no idea how much these meds cost!” We just didn’t have the money for that and were kind of embarrassed, he saw that too. So on he went, “Maybe you could get these later and check out GoodRx called Good Rx, I’ve seen people save 30 bucks, 40, even $100 once, that was crazy! Can’t promise anything but it’s worth checking out.” Relieved I nodded and said “yes thank you! I will definitely check that out.” We left and downloaded GoodRx and did find the SAME meds a little over $100 less than without GoodRx ! That saved me from not being able to buy my meds, to, buying them and having money left over! this app IS great!

In several instances this app costs are below my copay cost of medications in my prescription drug program, i. e. medicare plan D. This concerns me greatly as shouldn’t one’s plan D program drug costs be negotiated for lower costs for their customers? Are is it that these programs are cartels keeping drug costs high to enrich the companies at the expense of retired persons who have the most accumulated wealth in the US than any other group collectively? Thus, another means of wealth transfer from seniors to drug manufacturers and insurance companies. Or are the laws structured in the United States written and devised to benefit drug manufactures and insurance companies from competitively bidding and crossing state lines? Many of these drugs are distributed in other countries at extremely lower costs than what it cost US citizens.

I have not used this app as of yet. However, I’m looking forward to using it in 2018 and the challenge of lowering my prescription costs.

Thank you to the stakeholders of this app for your collaborative efforts in the development of GoodRx.

Need I say more!?! this app is the absolute best! They make expensive medicine probs go away. This is the best app ever and a big thank you to the people behind this app. Thanks for caring and willing to help others afford to fill their prescriptions. You guys are amazing!

P.S. I have a sleeping problem and I have been trying all sorts of stuff that works a bit then stop so my doctor prescribed me Lunesta instead. I went to Walgreens to pick it up, was over 300$ for 30 1mg tablets then with my insurance it was like 200$, so opened my this app app and now it was 100$ and I've never had the med yet so was like nope not paying that, and asked why are y'all so high compared to the other this app prices and they said something about they're always higher than their competitors with this app or any prescription savings discount card so that let me know not to go to them anymore lol. Albertsons or Costco it is from now on. The price was $24 with this app...Thank You!!!😃

I had been taking my prescriptions to Costco for 6 months and had no issues with them accepting coupons from the this app app. On my last visit last month they told me that they had the coupon codes for my medications from this app in their system and there was no need to show them the coupons every time I picked up my prescriptions. Today my wife went in to pick up my prescriptions and was told they were no longer accepting the this app coupon because I have existing healthcare insurance. Purchasing the medication at my HMO pharmacy is too expensive and this is why I got the this app app to save money. Don’t know why all of a sudden they are not allowing me to use this app. Will no longer be able to use Costco pharmacy as it is charging me same price as Kaiser. At least Kaiser mails my prescriptions to my home, using Costco, I have to make two trips to get my prescriptions. Something very wrong.

I have been taking Synthroid for low thyroid for 30+ years. Thyroid medications must be taken in consistent doses at the same time (s) daily or the patient will experience side effects. Like many others I cannot take the generic alternative because the 25% variance that the FDA allows wreaks havoc from month to month as the dosages vary up to 25% above and below my prescribed dosage. A male co-worker agonized over his wife’s health issues for over a year. When I asked what her issues were, he said ‘it changes almost monthly. One month she is fine, the next she is depressed and tired, the next her heart is racing and she is angry and anxious. Plus her weight goes up & down so she is upset over that as well.’. Recognizing the symptoms, I asked if she takes thyroid medication & whether she takes generic meds.’. He answered yes to both. Long story short, his wife changed doctors, was prescribed Synthroid brand with a no generics stipulation and a couple weeks later husband and wife were happy. He continued to thank me regularly for the next few years for helping him get his happy wife back. Bottom line: choose brand vs. generic wisely.

I work in the emergency room, in a very low income area. The majority of people are on state funded insurance or uninsured. It's very frustrating when a patient needs a medication, and what I prescribe them is either not covered, or the patient can't afford it. Gone are the days of the four dollar lists. In my own family, we went from paying $10 for 90 days of thyroid medicine, to $30 for one month. Good Rx has been amazing!

A patient just the other day came back to the ER, because their doxycycline prescription, which used to be $4 everywhere, was $79. We were able to find it on Good Rx for $18, which he could afford.

Despite that most patients have no insurance, the majority of them have cell phones with internet (go figure). I can typically find a medication that will cover what they need at a reasonable rate with Good Rx. Saves me the hassle of a ton of phone calls later about patients saying they can't afford the medicine. Thank you to Good Rx!

this app is amazing we have saved hundreds of dollars on our prescriptions already! With a high deductible at the first of the year like most plans have we typically end up spending thousands of dollars on our prescriptions. My self and my husband both have health issues and several prescriptions to fill each month. Typically the first of the year is very hard for us due to deductibles being due. This year thanks to this app we were not only able to afford our prescriptions but able to get everything instead of only the couple we could afford. They truly have been a life saver for our family!!! Thank you this app you are wonderful! Now hopefully you can find more Rx companies that will work with you on the price of diabetic supplies like Insulin this was the only item I was forced not to get due to it still being $400. Everything else was an amazing price other than my Insulin.
