Sick and tired of high drug costs? You're not alone.

Generic$ work especially during the recession
I don't have health insurance right now, but prescription costs have become increasingly difficult to manage. I started saving by switching to generic drugs by using Medtipster.
Medtipster allows you to type in your drug name, dosage and zip code to search for and locate prescription drugs that are available on discount generic programs across the United States; many of which are available for as little as $4. Prescriptions that are not available on a discounted program often have therapeutic alternatives on a discounted generic program, which are also available on MedTipster’s website.
