Prescription Drug Program Helps TSCL Supporters Control Spiraling Drug Prices

`I am so pleased with my MatureRx(r) card for discounts on prescription drugs. I have used other prescription cards, but none of these give as much discount as the MatureRx(r) card.`
-Ann E., Pawleys Island, SC

An innovative new prescription drug program, MatureRx,(r) is proving to be of great value to TSCL supporters. TSCL receives no commission on this program and coordinates it as a service for supporters. Here`s a closer look at how the program works:

MatureRx(r) can save you money three ways:

MatureRx(r) provides significant savings through a formulary-up to 65% on specific drug categories including high blood pressure, anti-viral, cardiac, cholesterol lowering, estrogen replacement, ulcer, diabetes, allergy, ophthalmic, and savings up to 40% on all generics. You receive a Product Guide and Participating Pharmacy Directory that help you compare the cost of `covered` drugs versus `non-covered` drugs. If your current prescription calls for a non-covered drug, you may want to contact your doctor to determine if it is medically appropriate to change to one of the covered drugs.
MatureRx(r) offers `walk-up` discounts. If your prescription is not specifically covered you can still obtain a discount on most generic and brand name drugs at any participating pharmacy. Just present your MatureRx(r) identification card.
MatureRx(r) offers discounted pricing for people who take maintenance medication through the WAL-MART Pharmacy Mail Service. If you regularly use medications outlined in the Product Guimade, you can save more through the Mail Services option. Medication not covered in the formulary is also available via mail order.

TSCL promotes MatureRx(r) FREE of charge to its active supporters.
