How To Save on Prescription Drugs

Check with your doctor if you still need to be on your current dose, or would a lower dose now be appropriate? And since everyone knows about generic drugs being a cheaper form of the same medication, check if you could save on drugs by changing to a generic version.

Now I would like to suggest that you consider a completely unconventional way to save on drugs. Is it possible for you to improve your health so much that you no longer need them? - I found that I was able to do this. I realize that many people have to take certain drugs and that it would be dangerous to give them up, but why not read about my experience and see if you too could improve your health and no longer have need of drugs.

I had been taking beta-blockers for very high blood pressure for years, and I was slowing down, partly from increasing weight, and partly from the effects of the beta-blockers. I eventually consulted a dietician and fortunately she gave me exactly the right information and advice, for which I shall always be grateful. - She explained that I was sensitive to salt, and that if I cut down on salty food my high blood pressure would come down naturally, and that is how it proved.

The dietitian gave me lists of foods to avoid - like bacon, cheese, bread, most breakfast cereals, etc. because these are all high in salt, and which foods are safe and good for me - like fruit, unsalted vegetables, milk and yogurt, fresh meat, eggs, etc. By following her advice my high blood pressure rapidly came down and I was able, with the doctor's complete approval, to reduce the dose of blood pressure medication I took. Eventually, after a total of perhaps six or seven months or so, I was able to discontinue those drugs completely! - My blood pressure had become not merely lower, it had become very healthy indeed, lower than that of most people my age. So not only had I been able to save on drugs, I had improved my health enormously. I felt so much better, I was in less pain and had more energy, and I had lost a lot of excess weight, because when you lower your salt intake your fluid retention is reduced.

Cutting down on salt improves your health in so many ways. Why not try it yourself? Maybe lowering your salt intake could help you too to save on drugs.
