I am bumping this up BIG TIME! My mom is on Fosamax for her osteoperosis. My mom is on this program & receives this medication in the mail. It does take a while to come so her orthopedic surgeon gives her samples to keep on hand. This drug is very expensive if you have to pay for it at the pharmacy.

One thing I do want to add is that a person doesn't necessarily have to be 'down & out' to get on this program. My mom is on Social Security & receives a company pension (she is also on Medicare & has a secondary insurance). My mom isn't wealthy but she isn't living in poverty, either.

Don't be discouraged if you think you may not qualify for this program. You won't know unless you try!
