What is the name of the pharmacy where senior citizens can order their medicines?

My mom use to get her medicines from them, but she has passed on. It is in the United States. One of my prescriptions has more than tripled in cost, to $154.00, so I need to find a less expensive place to buy hem.

Thanks in advance for your response.

    I buy generic brands which is cheaper and still works the same way as name brands meds and get mine from my local pharmacy or you can try Walmart too.

    Call or visit at least 3 pharmacies. Include at least one

    large discount store. Wal-Mart and Target sell a 30-day

    supply of many generic drugs for about $4.00 and a

    90-day supply for about $10.00 each. Also ask about

    discount cards. Th ey can save you 10% to 25% of

    drug costs.

    Tell each pharmacist the names of the drugs you

    need. Ask how much they cost. Explain that you do

    not have drug coverage and that you will be paying for

    the drugs yourself.

    If the store with the lowest price is far away, ask a store

    near you to match the lower price. Smaller pharmacies

    will oft en do this if you live in the neighborhood.

    Good, we would call it "old Age Pensioners" like they do within the UK, but i do not consider that might go over well. Possibly "Over age 50 or fifty five". And the kids part might be called "excessive tuition Seniors" or "high Schoolers". I've most commonly inspiration Y!A must have age categories. For illustration: 12 - 14 Junior excessive 14 - 18 excessive university 18 - 30 young Adults 30 - 40 Adults forty - 50 Adults 50 - 60 Adults 60+ Adults but i assume Y!A does not need to have so many classes.

    My late mother was on a Medicare Advantage plan through Secure Horizons and their mail order pharmacy was Prescription Solutions. That was over 2 years ago. I thought I had read that the name has changed.

    edit: It was changed to OptumRX. I just found their link.

    Many prescriptions can be bought from Canadian pharmacies online quite cheaply. Beware scams, though; here's how to proceed:

    "Fortunately, it is easy to avoid multi-national and Canadian pharmacy scams online and ensure that you are choosing a legitimate service. The best way to do so is to look for authentic certification from the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA). This organization only approves legitimate online pharmacies that sell safe, excellent quality discount medications. You should be able to see the official CIPA approval seal on international and Canadian pharmacy websites that are legitimate. Click on that seal to verify that it links to the discount pharmacy website's certification hosted on the CIPA website, as some multi-country and Canadian pharmacy scams may place a fake CIPA image seal on their illegitimate pharmacy website. Or you can simply go to the official CIPA homepage and review the list of certified members, in order to avoid running into international and Canadian pharmacy scams. "

    Check online with senior services in your local county and state, and see if there are any pharmaceutical assistance programs.

    I would recommend Rite Aid, their prescriptions are relatively cheaper than other drug store chains.

    I get my meds from a Canadian pharmacy at less that 1/5 the cost in any U.S. pharmacy. If you'd like the name, email me. They are name brand drugs and they are NOT outdated. The only problem is, it can take up to three weeks to get them because they have to go through customs.

    Try Walmart or Rite Aid, and check with your state to see if there is a senior assistance pharmaceutical plan.
