Tired of Heartburn? Extinguish it with Nexium (esomeprazole)
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009If you are like the millions of Americans that after a great dinner or football party get massive heartburn, then you need to talk to your doctor about Nexium. I get heartburn just from drinking soda or eating a cinnamon cookie. It is time to stop burning. Nexium decreases the amount of acid, the source of the burning sensation, produced in the stomach. Another sign to watch for is loosing your voice quickly…perhaps your espophagitis is damaged.
Technically speaking, Nexium is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used to promote healing of your esophagitis. This may be the reason you loose your voice a lot more often than usual or experience soreness. In layman terms, Nexium will allow you to eat the foods you like without all the agony of burning.
Taking care of your heartburn does not have to burn your wallet either. The average cost of Nexium is $195.40 for a 30 day supply of 20mg pills. With the Savings Drug Card, you will spend $157.76. That is a savings of 19% !

Fighting High Cholesterol? Knock it out with ZOCOR
Monday, September 14th, 2009If you are fighting high cholesterol, you are not alone. High cholesterol affects 42 million Americans, and 63 million more have borderline high cholesterol. That is equivalent to every person in the state of California! There are many reasons why this happens, but you are not here to talk about why but more…Now What?
You are your doctor will talk about many options and things you need to be pro-active about including eating habits and exercise. The doctor may also talk about some medication to help you to beat high cholesterol. The top selling drug for reducing high cholesterol is ZOCOR. ZOCOR blocks the production of cholesterol in the body. Technically speaking, Zocor reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood.
If you find that ZOCOR is too expensive, there is a generic option on the market. The name is Simvastatin.
Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease. You can save on Zocor and Simvastatin today by using your FREE Discount Prescription Drug Card from Savings Drug Card.
Need Levaquin aka Levofloxacin at a Cheaper Rate?

Levaquin, or Levofloxacin, is used in Cancer patients to treat severe bacterial infections. Levaquin is a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent and is known to interact with a number of other drugs in addition to many herbal and natural supplements. Be sure to let your doctor know of any medications before taking Levaquin that you are taking to ensure that Levaquin will not interact with your other medications. These interactions can increase the risk of toxins in the heart, abnormal heart rhythms and increased susceptibility of bleeding.
Looking for a discount or cheap Levaquin? The average retail price for ten 500 MG capsules of Levaquin is $158.61, but your Savings Drug Card can help you get it at $124.64. That is a savings of more than $30 at no additional cost to you!

The Dreaded Doughnut Hole on Medicare Part D
Friday, July 31st, 2009
We met with a doctor over the weekend. We told him about the card and asked for his advice. He said the biggest customer in his mind for this card would be 65+ who are on Medicare and fall in to the “doughnut hole” on Medicare Part D. Basically, he said these people get around $2,000 in prescription coverage that usually runs out in June/July.
They are stuck paying another $2,000+ for the rest of the year. He said if they would rearrange their prescriptions to push part of them through our card, which will not add to their running total with Medicare D, they could shift the cost. In other words, they could pay cash for some of their scripts and use our discount pricing and push the rest through Medicare D. He said if they do this they should be able to lessen the $2,000+ a year they are spending to around $1,000. That’s a lot of money for a senior on a fixed income!
Be sure to spread the word out to all seniors that are in your circle of influence.
