9 Ways to Get Medicine Cheap and Save Huge!

5) Pill Splitting

For certain medications, you can request your doctor order your pills with a larger dose than you need so you can split them yourself. This will allow you to get more doses for less money. For example, you can get twenty pills with a strength of 250mg each for the same price as twenty pills with a strength of 125mg each. Therefore, the twenty pills of 250mg you get, gives you forty pills of 125mg, if you split them yourself. It’s important to be aware that not all medication is approved by the FDA to be split. If the pill is not scored in the center, it’s not meant to be cut in half. Some pills should be taken whole, or they can cause serious side effects. This tip will not work with capsules. Always consult a doctor and pharmacist before splitting your pills.
