The program was tested in Tampa Bay, Fla. With 36,000 $4 prescriptions filled since the program began on Sept. 21. In addition Wal-Mart is “increasing the number of drugs covered to 314 from 300, and the list will include cholesterol-reduction drug Lovastatin and the cancer drug Megestrol.”
Not surprisingly “The $4 drug list accounts for about 30% of prescriptions dispensed through Wal-Mart pharmacies and pharmacies at sister retail chains in Florida.” I imagine that this program will be extended to all of their stores eventually. Who wouldn’t go want a prescription filled for $4?
Does anyone have any objections or thoughts on this inexpensive generic prescription drug program at Wal-Mart?
