Financial help for support drugs while receiving treatment

[Wendy328]

I´ m looking at the drugs I will have to take Allpurinal, Acylovir.Odanestron and looked up the cost. It´s looking like $300.00 a month. My husband and I are retired and can´t afford that. Has anyone run into that problem?

Where do I start looking for help. Living in the US. I do have Medicare A, B and D. but those aren´t covered. I looked at two places this morning and it showed not accepting any more applcants. yike this could be a deal breaker!

check with your doctor that is treating your CLL. They have a financial person that knows all the ins and outs and should be able to help you find financial help

I pay about $8.00 for Allopurinol. I have found differences from one pharmacy to another as well. Below are some links for coupons -

$7.47 - goodrx.com/allopurinol

$14.16 - goodrx.com/acyclovir

$33.25 - goodrx.com/ondansetron
