MEDICATION ASSISTANCE

 

Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA):  905 F St.,
Washington, DC 20004; phone:  (202) 835-3400; website:  http://www.phrma.org
(NOTE:  The web list of participating companies is in text, but to read the
Directory requires Adobe Acrobat software.) 

 

The pharmaceutical industry has a tradition of providing medications free of
charge to physicians whose patients might not otherwise have access to
necessary medicines.  Members of PhRMA, an association of drug
manufacturers, have created a directory listing each participating
manufacturer, and the products that manufacturer has decided to list.
Eligibility rules vary between manufacturers, and all prescription
medications are not included, nor are all drug manufacturers members of
PhRMA.  Still, the association's patient assistance program (which does
include insulin, oral diabetes medications, and cyclosporine) is a useful
safety net.  For information about the Directory of Prescription Drug
Patient Assistance Programs, physicians should contact PhRMA at the above
address.
