I'm thinking on using on-line prescription. Has anyone used one and what was your luck? How was the service and pricing compare to your local drug store? This will be for 2 monthly ones. Thanks Carrie

I have used

Drugstore.com

I think its called and they beat the local prices hands down!! If you can get the Dr to write a 3 months supply the price goes WAY down.

They ship in a timley manner for FREE. Log on to their site and check prices out they will have a price list and quanity prices to choose from.

God Bless and have a great weekend.

Get ours throught the mail with the company. It is much, much cheaper than even using our union card at the drug store. Still use the union card. Service is really, really fast and never have had a problem. Use to be able to send the payment after receiving the medication now need to use a credit card or pay in advance. Even with paying in advance using the mail get our medication within a week !! With credit card within 3 days. We can call and speak with someone "live" if we need to. They do need to have the doctor fax your doctors orders to them the first time but after that no problem. Think you will enjoy the savings. Good Luck !!!

K-Mart has a relatively new policy that they will match any on-line drugstore price. I have prescriptions called in to K-Mart and on the day I am to pick them up, I print the price from the internet, usually Drugstore.com. Two days ago we picked up 100 5mg generic Hytrin for my husband. K-Mart's price was $98.00, but they matched Drugstore.com's price of $41.00. Since K-Mart is having so much trouble, it might always be good to doublecheck, but I think they are trying to compete with internet drugstores. I have ordered from Drugstore.com and they are always great. It's just more convenient to go into K-Mart and pick it up.

We use Merck-Medco for all my son's needs, who's a diabetic. They're great!
