Editorial Reviews

Product Description

How to Save on Prescription Drugs is the essential handbook written by a physician that empowers patients to fight back against outrageous prescription drug costs. Dr. Jardini's twenty cost-saving methods explain how to eliminate unnecessary drugs, substitute appropriate affordable medicines, and obtain medications at a discount or even free. Case studies show how patients taking popular expensive drugs saved hundreds to thousands of dollars per year using this simple program. The book features an Expensive-Drug Survival Index that matches costly drugs to cheaper alternatives patients can discuss with their doctors. There is also a thorough explanation of the new Medicare Part D prescription benefit program, and how to take best advantage of these plans.

From the Publisher

This book is replete with insider information exposing pharmaceutical industry practices that make most prescription treatment unnecessarily expensive or simply unnecessary. Dr. Jardini gives patients the principles to become active participants in treatment decisions that promote good health instead of drug company profits. According to the ABC News/Kaiser Family Foundation/USA Today Health Care in America Survey, 25 percent of Americans have difficulty paying for prescription drugs. Sixty-nine percent of these respondents are insured. How to Save on Prescription Drugs guides those strapped by exorbitant prescription drug costs into a new alliance with their doctors to reduce costs, improve compliance, and promote better health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Medications I've Read, August 18, 2008
This review is from: How to Save on Prescription Drugs: 20 Cost Saving Methods (Paperback)
Long known as a patient advocate in his home town of Templeton, California, this busy family doctor has a special interest in the subject of medication and a passion for helping his patients keep drug costs to a minimum. The son of a physician, with three brothers who are also physicians, he has been well-steeped in pharmacological and medical issues for most of his life. This book is an exceptional bounty of knowledge written for the common patients' pharmacy needs in an inflationary economy in which many people have little income and no health insurance. On a personal level, this book has changed how my husband and myself talk to our physicians about our medication issues and has help cut our drug expenses in half.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Save on Prescription Drugs Book Review, August 30, 2009
This review is from: How to Save on Prescription Drugs: 20 Cost Saving Methods (Paperback)
Wish I had read this book years earlier!
A must read for people especially using monthly medications on a consistent basis.

I learned some tips that really helped save out of pocket money (which is what really counts), and great advice for some needed conversations with my doctor.

Everyone should read this!

5.0 out of 5 stars DO YOUR POCKETBOOK A FAVOR, BUY THIS BOOK., March 9, 2009
This review is from: How to Save on Prescription Drugs: 20 Cost Saving Methods (Paperback)
Nobody should be trying to navigate today's prescription drug costs without having access to the kind of information contained in this book. It is appropriate for Medicare patients, people in group health plans and individuals just trying to get a fair break on buying the medicines they need. As a Medicare patient the methods in this book saved me about 50% over the cost of buying a Part D drug plan. My son, recovering from encephalitis and without drug insurance coverage or the ability to work was able to reduce his cost for very expensive maintenance medicines to practically zero through the drug manufacturer programs identified and explained in this book. A real Godsend to my family!

The book is specific, timely, well written, easy to read and contains most, if not all, of the information you will need to be a better buyer when it comes to the medicines you need. It brings together in one place a wealth of information that would take someone like me weeks or months to search out on the web. And, that's even if I knew the right questions to ask (I don`t). This book provides you with tools you need to work more effectively with your doctor, to save on the prescriptions you need and in a multitude of ways to be a more actively engaged patient and an advocate for your own better health care.

I give it five stars and think this is an extremely informative must-buy book that should be on every health care consumers shelf.
