Pfizer http://www.pfizerhelpfulanswers.com/...c/Default.aspx
Roche/Genentech http://www.genentechaccesssolutions.com/portal/site/AS/
GlaxoSmithKline http://us.gsk.com/html/healthcare/he...scription.html
Novartis/Gleevec http://www.gleevec.com/index.jsp?use...62023379850290
Sanofi http://www.sanofi.us/l/us/en/layout....3-B687305CCAE9
AstraZenca http://www.astrazeneca-us.com/help-a...our-medicines/
Abbott http://www.abbott.com/citizenship/pr...access/pap.htm
Merck http://www.merck.com/merckhelps/
Eli Lilly http://www.lilly.com/responsibility/.../programs.aspx
Bristol-Myers Squibb http://www.bms.com/products/Pages/programs.aspx

Also Walgreens has a prescription drug card that is $20 a year provides discounts on some brand name drugs and has generics for as little as $1. You would have to check to see what the coverage would be for your medicine. You can check online at
