I think the lifesaving aspect is out; have you ever looked through Needymeds?

There are PAP’s for everything up to and including Viagra. Now, depending on your definition of lifesaving….

By all means, call the appropriate number I posted above Monday morning. The assistance programs are for uninsured, as well as underinsured. Let  them know you can’t afford the copay, and hopefully they will accept you into the program. I used one of them in the past, and they paid for all the HCV meds with no charge to me.

Maybe they are forced to provide these programs by the FDA for drugs that are life saving. Perhaps they are subsidized by the government.

As far as I can tell, PAP’s are limited to U.S. residency. I don’t understand the mechanics of it all, Dave; these drugs are certainly marketed internationally. Do you suppose the price structure here somehow supports financial assistance? I’ve puzzled over this too…

To add to bills post there is also trials that provide everything for free.

Bill,
Do those companies only offer the assistance for people in the US, that seems so odd.

Bruno, do you live in the U.S.? If so, the manufacturers of interferon have financial assistance programs that might help with the cost of medications:
