Sodrock,
We'll see very shortly where the future of the generic market goes once some data comes in from Pfizer's new promotion. This ad has been running nationally now for a month:
Pfizer Offers $4 Lipitor Co-Pay Card? Is Affordable $4 Lipitor Too Good To Be True?
Lipitor for the price of a Costco or Wal-Mart generic prescription drug? Affordable Lipitor may sound too good to be true, but this deal is for real. Pfizer is offering $4 Co-Pay cards for its blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor through its website and they’re available right now.
The Deal
If you are eligible, you can start using the $4 Lipitor Co-Pay card right away to start saving on your Lipitor. If your health insurance co-pay is:
• $54 or less, you pay only $4 a month for your Lipitor
• $55 or more, save $50 off your monthly cost, up to $600 of savings per calendar year.
What’s the Catch?
Not exactly a “catch,” but the $4 Lipitor Co-Pay card does come with some restrictions. This $4 Lipitor Co-Pay card is not valid if your prescription drugs are covered by Medicaid, Medicare or any other federal or state healthcare programs (including any state prescription drug assistance programs and the Government Health Insurance Plan available in Puerto Rico (formerly known as “La Reforma de Salud”). The $4 Lipitor Co-Pay card is not valid if you are covered by private insurance plans or other health or pharmacy benefit programs which reimburse you for the entire cost of your prescription drugs.
We don’t know about you, but even with the restrictions, we think that saving up to $600 a year Lipitor is pretty unbeatable right now.
