So you want to buy Viagra? Congratulations! You are in the right place. Here’s how you can get a discounted rate.
Step 1:
This one may be the simplest step but it’s also the one that people often overlook. Before you start making any buying decisions, take some time to compare prices and offers online. You’ll be surprised at how many pharmaceutical companies are willing to negotiate a price with you. Sometimes they have huge discounts for patient assistance programs such as insurance plans. If you’re not sure where to start, simply enter your insurance details on the FDA website and click on the “Find pharmacies near me” button.
Step 2:
After you’ve compared prices and have chosen a drug you want, fill out a medical questionnaire online to declare what medications you’re currently taking. You don’t need to fill it out in its entirety, just indicate the medications you’re currently taking or have taken in the past. This will help the pharmacist determine what other medications you might need while on the medication you’ve been prescribed. If you have a couple of prescriptions, this step alone could save you hundreds of dollars per month. However, don’t expect your doctor to fill out all the forms for you. The first step is up to you.
Step 3:
After you’ve completed the online questionnaire, your doctor will review it and, if everything is okay, will authorize you to make the prescription purchase. It’s also a good idea to call your pharmacy and ask about any pharmacy discounts they may have. Sometimes pharmacies will give you points or specials for being a patient. Many pharmacies offer discounts on medicines for patients with certain medical conditions. Knowing this could help you get a better deal. For example, several drug companies offer a 20% discount for heart patients. Some pharmacies will even give you an additional discount if you’re part of a medical association such as AARP or Medicare.
Step 4:
When you arrive at the pharmacy, present your medical card or ID to verify your identity. If you have insurance coverage, you may be asked to show the pharmacy your insurance information. You’ll need to give the pharmacist your medical records so they can verify what other medications you’re taking. If you’ve been prescribed a new medication, the pharmacist will need to check with your doctor or pharmacy to make sure it’s okay to combine the medications – this could take some time.
Step 5:
After you’ve done all that, it’s time to pay. If you are paying out of pocket, present your credit card and verify its validity. If you’ve provided accurate information, the price of the medication should be within your budget.
Tip:
If you’ve decided to buy Viagra, it’s a good idea to take it early in the day. The medication has a half-life of about 11 hours, which means it’ll start losing its effectiveness about 6 hours after you take it. So, if you’ve determined the medication is right for you, wait until late afternoon to take it so you’ll be at your peak effectiveness.
