Save on the Most Expensive Generic Drugs in the U.S.
Generic medications are safe and effective equivalents to branded medications. They go through the same FDA regulations as branded medication, but normally cost a fraction of the price. These medications account for 90% of all prescriptions filled in the U.S. While many generic medications are affordable, some still come at a high price tag, and unfortunately, those costs seem to be going up.
Despite generic medications typically costing only pennies to produce, the average co-pay for patients taking generic medications is $10/month. This is due to high insurance co-pays or deductibles, changes to formularies, and hidden pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) fees.
Our model at Marley Drug bypasses the insurance company and PBMs to save you money. Fewer middlemen almost always means a lower price for you, even with insurance. That’s why we can offer more than 100 generic medications for $37 for 6 months or $70 for 12 months, and that includes free shipping. Check out the medications we offer at this price on the Marley Drug Wholesale Price List.
