Chicago, IL - Is you're your medication

too expensive for your budget? Are you choosing between medicine and your

meals? If so, information in a new booklet might help.

The Prescription Assistance Coalition of

Chicago, IL has just published a booklet, "Prescription Drug Giveaway Programs."

The booklet gives information on how and where to get free & low cost

prescription drugs.

"There are over 70 programs from major

drug manufacturers that provide free or low cost medication. These programs

are rarely, if ever publicized," says Chris Pongsak, a researcher at Prescription

Assistance Coalition. "We've published an A to Z listing of all the drugs

that are available to certain qualified groups for free or at very low

cost directly from the manufacturer. There are nearly 46 million Americans

that are lacking health care insurance, many of whom could benefit from

the information in this booklet."

Consumers can receive a copy by sending

$5 to cover the cost of printing, postage and handling to: Central Fulfillment

Center, Prescription Drug Giveaway Booklet Offer #PDG0909,

P.O. Box 408342, Chicago, IL 60640-8342.
