Discount Pharmacy Program Frees Up Spending Money
MEDIA ALERT--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov 19, 2002--Everyone knows that college students are short on cash, but what would they do if they had some extra money?
Results from a new national survey of college-aged women show what most young women would do - buy new clothes! The survey, which was conducted among 406 women aged 18-24, asked how they would most likely spend an extra $286(1). When given a choice of four things to spend the money on, clothes came in first-35 percent of those surveyed stated that they would buy one new outfit they normally wouldn`t be able to afford, followed by 28 percent who would choose 6 months of cell phone usage, 13 percent who would buy 17 new CDs and 13 percent who would get manicures every two weeks for a year.
The good news is that if women are already spending up to $35 per month on birth control pills they may now be able to have that extra money - and the new outfit! By using Smart Woman Rx, a discount pharmacy service, a woman can save up to $286 on birth control pills per year(2).
The birth control pill is the most common method of contraception among women aged 15-24, and the average cost of birth control pills is $20-35 per cycle. But now, women can purchase birth control pills via Smart Woman Rx for as little as $13 per pack, regardless of insurance coverage and without insurance co-pays or reimbursement paperwork, thereby saving up to $286 per year.
Ordering birth control pills via Smart Woman Rx is easy. Women who would like to participate can either call (866) 376-6523 toll-free, or enroll online at www.smartwomanrx.com. Since many different brands of oral contraceptives contain the same ingredients and similar doses, if a woman doesn`t currently have a prescription for one of the brands offered by Smart Woman Rx, she should talk to her healthcare provider about which one might be right for her. If she has prescription for one of the brands offered, a program pharmacist will gladly contact her current pharmacy or health care provider to obtain the prescription.
College students should visit www.smartwomanrx.com for additional information, because who wouldn`t want some extra money to spare?
