The high price of prescription and over-the-counter medications can be daunting for many people in the U.S. According to a recent study, those covered by employer insurance, which often provides the most comprehensive coverage, still have copay costs at the pharmacy counter that range from $11 to over $123 per Rx fill. Yet, just under half of people 65 and younger in the United States are not covered by employer-sponsored health insurance. This means their copays or cash prices are typically even higher at the pharmacy counter.
No matter if you have insurance, or what kind of coverage you have, you don’t have to settle for high prices on prescription drugs. Out of thousands of medications you can save on with your SingleCare card, we have nearly 70 drugs available for less than $10! Even if you have insurance, your copay could be $10 or more, so you should always check our prices. Here, we highlight 10 of these $10 prescriptions.
1. Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide
Heart disease and stroke are two of the leading causes of death in the United States. When your blood pressure is under control, it greatly reduces your risk of developing either condition. Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide is a combination ACE inhibitor and diuretic medication that helps to treat hypertension. When you use a SingleCare coupon, the price will make you feel even calmer. Thirty pills cost under $10.
2. Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim DS
While you may not be familiar with the generic name sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim DS, you are probably familiar with its brand name: Bactrim. Both these drugs treat a wide range of bacterial infections including urinary tract infections (UTIs), bronchitis, ear, nose and throat infections, and pneumonia. In fact, antibiotics using sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are some of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States. In 2017 alone, it was prescribed over 18.7 million times. At some pharmacies the cost of a prescription is nearly $20. With SingleCare, it can cost less than $10.
3. Famotidine
If you’ve had heartburn, you know that when it strikes you need relief fast. Famotidine, the generic of Pepcid AC, made headlines in 2020 as a possible treatment for the novel coronavirus. Yet, it’s more commonly known as a treatment for excess stomach acid—including conditions like ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and plain old indigestion. With SingleCare, the price won’t contribute to your agita.
4. Indomethacin
Indomethacin is another drug that treats an incredibly common condition: arthritis. In the United States alone, more than 54 million people have arthritis in some form. Indomethacin is an anti-inflammatory medication that can help alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis. This generic drug works by relieving pain and joint inflammation.
5. Rena-Vite Rx
Rena-Vite Rx is a prescription dietary supplement. It delivers B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12 to the body. These B vitamins are essential to the digestive process. They help harvest energy from carbohydrates and fat, break down amino acids, and transport oxygen and energy throughout the body. Rena-Vite Rx is frequently prescribed to those who have a B vitamin deficiency due to poor diet, malnutrition, illness, or natural causes. The cash price without a SingleCare card can be as high as $19.99. Our coupons bring the price as low as under $10.
6. Hydroxyzine HCL
Hydroxyzine HCL is a prescription antihistamine that is most often used for its sedative properties. Like its counterpart hydroxyzine pamoate—a top 25 cheap prescription with SingleCare—this generic drug works as a mild sedative and is most often prescribed to treat anxiety or allergies. Hydroxyzine pamoate and hydroxyzine HCL both have drying and sedative properties that can be useful for treating allergies or anxiety. Everybody reacts differently. One of these may work better than the other for certain patients. If either form of hydroxyzine is right for you, SingleCare has you covered.
7. Isoniazid
Isoniazid is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis. It is estimated that up to 13 million people in the United States suffer from untreated tuberculosis, a serious disease of the lungs that while frequently asymptomatic, is commonly associated with strong coughing, chest pain, and fever. Isoniazid fights the bacteria that causes the infection and is often prescribed in conjunction with other medications that treat or minimize symptoms. At some pharmacies, this essential treatment can cost more than $35 for a fill. Your SingleCare card can bring the price under $10.
8. Amiloride HCL
Amiloride HCL is a diuretic (otherwise known as a water pill) that helps your body eliminate excess sodium and water. This generic prescription is commonly used in conjunction with other drugs to treat congestive heart failure and high blood pressure. With our coupons, you can spend significantly less on amiloride HCL than you would without a SingleCare card. At some pharmacies, a single fill can cost over $20. With SingleCare, that price drops under $10.
9. Acetylcysteine
Unlike most of the drugs on this $10 prescription list, acetylcysteine has multiple indications and modes of application. Acetylcysteine is a generic cough medicine that can be taken orally, intravenously, or through inhalation. Because acetylcysteine loosens mucus in the airways, it is frequently prescribed to patients suffering from cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
10. Triple Paste AF
Triple Paste AF is an over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal cream that treats a wide variety of skin issues, including yeast infections, athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch. And yes, you can use the SingleCare card on OTC treatments. “I encourage anyone heading to the pharmacy to check to see if their treatment is covered on SingleCare,” says Shaili Gandhi, Pharm.D., vice president of formulary operations at SingleCare. “Even if it’s an over-the-counter drug that doesn’t require a prescription, you may be able to save more by getting a prescription for it and using SingleCare.”
In other words, if you’re choosing an over-the-counter medication like Triple Paste AF, make sure to make a phone call to your healthcare provider first, so you can benefit from the savings of your discount card.
