SingleCare users see the biggest savings on these 10 drugs

On average, Americans spend more on prescription drugs per year than anywhere else in the world. The reasons are myriad—lack of regulation, patent protection, price hikes in the supply chain, and overall lack of clarity around pricing. When the average consumer isn’t aware what’s causing high prices, or that price comparison is possible, it’s hard to find the lowest cost.  

“Price transparency for prescription drugs is an essential tool for Americans struggling to afford their medications,” says Shaili Gandhi, Pharm.D., vice president of formulary operations at SingleCare. “Many don’t realize that they could save hundreds of dollars a month on drugs by using a prescription discount card and shopping around for the best prices.” 

Different pharmacies often fill the same prescription at different prices. With SingleCare’s prescription discount card, you can compare local pharmacies and maximize your savings. All you have to do is search for your prescription on our website or using our app. SingleCare’s prescription discounts can save you as much as 80%.

“SingleCare’s price transparency charts let you compare the cash price to the SingleCare savings for the past year,”  says Ramzi Yacoub, Pharm.D., SingleCare chief pharmacy officer. “If it’s lower than your insurance copay, you know you’re saving money.” 

You can text the coupon to yourself, print it immediately, or add it to your digital wallet. Then, just bring your SingleCare coupon to the pharmacy counter.

Don’t settle for your pharmacy’s cash price for your medications! SingleCare’s prescription coupons offer real-time savings on over 10,000 prescription drugs. Here are 10 popular drugs with the largest savings for SingleCare users.

*Percentages based on CVS sales data from June 2020. Savings percentages vary by retail pharmacy and may change.

1. Lamotrigine ER

Percent saved: 91%
Lamotrigine ER, a generic for Lamictal, is an anticonvulsant used to control seizures in children and adults with epilepsy. It is also used to treat bipolar disorder. Even though this drug is a generic, the regular cash price of Lamotrigine ER at major, nationwide pharmacies can be as high as $500. For SingleCare card users, it can be less than $50.  

2. Salicylic acid

Percent saved: 88%
Salicylic acid is a topical medication used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne. While you can buy lower strength salicylic acid over the counter, some conditions require prescription-strength. At the pharmacy counter, the prescription-strength dosage of salicylic acid can be costly—but not with the SingleCare savings! 

3. Dapsone

Percent saved: 87%
Dapsone is an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory Rx prescribed to treat skin conditions such as severe acne. This generic drug is available in a gel or tablet and is available in a variety of doses. Even though Dapsone is a generic, the cash price for a single fill without a SingleCare card can still be more than $500. 

4. Diphenhydramine

Percent saved: 86%

Diphenhydramine, often known by its brand name Benadryl, is an antihistamine. If you’re having an allergic reaction to your cat, or just the pollen in the air, it can provide relief from sneezing, itchiness, hives, or other allergy symptoms. Many people aren’t aware that over-the-counter products like this can be purchased at a discount. It just takes a phone call to your healthcare provider for a prescription. With a SingleCare coupon, you can save up to 86% off the cash price. Since allergies can last an entire season—or longer, if the allergen is present year round, those savings can add up over the long-term.

6. Anastrozole

Percent saved: 79%
