Plus State and Federal Programs by State

Back to Index

These services are called Patient Assistance Programs, referred to as 'P.A.P', on this page.

What is expected of me? You might be asked to meet certain requirements such as a single person or family making 'X' amount per year click to see qualification income table. though some companies provide assistance for family incomes as high as $35 K - $40 K  per year. For State and Federal Assistance Programs by State, click to see state by state table

How do I know if the prescription drug I take is on this list? Look at the maker of the medicine you are on currently or ask your pharmacist you use who makes a drug or the drugs you currently take. If you use generic, ask them who the name brand maker is, then look at this list to find the maker. If the maker is listed, call and ask about their "Patient Assistance Program". If you do not see the maker of a drug you take, on this list, email me and I'll try to find the info about a P.A.P. for you!

For your convenience,  Upjohn Pharmacia first, the maker of Depo-Testosterone. I have not found a PAP for Testoderm or Androderm as yet, but I will keep checking. I am also listing Merck, the maker of Propecia, as well. They have a Free ONE Year supply of Propecia for low income people. I am receiving my free years worth right now! Alert: I cannot take Propecia...contact me if you can.

If you'd like to contact either of the makers of 'the patch' to inquire about a P.A.P. IF they have one, here are their contact numbers:

Watson Pharmaceuticals (Maker of Androderm) 800-272-5525

Alza (Maker of Testoderm) 650-564-5000
