If you are commercially insured and you cannot afford your copay or co-insurance you can opt for purchasing mebendazole outside of your plan using the Rx Advantage card, with costs that are usually lower than a typical plan copay. If you elect to use this method, out of pocket costs do not contribute towards your plan deductibles.
If you cannot afford the cash price possibly due to income constraints, then there is the option of applying to state assistance programs like Medicaid. Often, you may be able to receive your mebendazole without any costs at all. You can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following this link HealthCare.gov. The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application.

You can search the brand name of mebendazole and check to see if a co-pay program exists.

They offer uninsured, insured, or underinsured individuals access to high-cost brand-name medications, which may otherwise be unaffordable.

Can I buy my mebendazole from Canada?
Americans pay at least twice as much (in fact 218%) on prescription medications than individuals in other countries, like Canada. The reason why Canada drugs are cheaper is that Canada regulates its prescription medication drug prices (the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board) meaning that consumers pay less for their mebendazole. This prevents pharmaceutical patentees from charging excessive prices.
As well, many Canadian drugs are likely produced by exactly the same companies in the same factories, as US prescription drugs.
We have partnered with Prescription Help in Canada that carries thousands of branded and generic medications. If there is an option for mebendazole from Canada, then we will provide this as an Rx savings option to you.
Is it safe for me to buy my mebendazole from Prescription Help, Canada?
If you purchase mebendazole from Canadian Prescription Help, then there is little reason to worry about safety since it is likely that the drugs will be the same ones you would get from your American drugstore, and would have undergone the same rigorous testing as the American counterparts. Canada drugs are regulated for safety, efficacy and quality by Health Canada, which is the Canadian equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If you are unsure, you can discuss this option with your physician, especially if you find it difficult affording your medications and may therefore risk not being treated.
Rest assured, NowPatient has done thorough due diligence on Prescription Help, to ensure that the service is adequately licensed, regulated and safe.
We have checked and verified that Prescription Help:
- Is a licensed pharmacy in Canada.
- Will only fill your mebendazole if you have a valid prescription.
- Has a licensed pharmacist on staff to answer your questions.
- Does not send medicine that looks different than what you receive at your usual drug store, nor does it arrive in packaging that is damaged, in a foreign language, has no expiration date, or is expired.
- Does not charge you for products that you never ordered or received.
- Provides clear written protections for your personal and financial information, including credit card numbers.
- Maintains the highest standards of data security and compliance.
- Does not sell your information to other websites.
- Does not supply controlled substances.
- Does not supply any products on an FDA Import Alert.
- Quantities are restricted to a maximum of 3 month's supply for international orders.
- Publishes contact information on website for customer service.
Is ordering mebendazole from a Canadian Pharmacy legal?
Although it is technically not legal for individuals to import prescription drugs, It is notable that U.S. government officials have stated that individuals who procure non-controlled prescription drugs from Canada or other foreign sources for up to a three-month supply for their own use are not pursued or prosecuted. There are hundreds of thousands of American patients who have used or continue to use Canadian pharmacies to procure their medications at significant discounts. Often the price of medications can be the difference between getting treated or not being treated.
How do I place an order for mebendazole from Prescription Help, Canada?
If your medication is available from our partner Canadian Pharmacy, then we will show it as an option. You can search for the product by pack size, strength or form and then see the price for mebendazole. If you are happy with the price, you can proceed to the checkout. This will take you to the Prescription Help website, from where you can complete the process. Prescription Help is not connected to NowPatient other than as an affiliate partner which offers services that may benefit NowPatient users. It is not insurance, any payments are strictly cash and are considered out-of-pocket.
What should I do if I take too much mebendazole?
Call your doctor right away or seek immediate medical attention if your symptoms do not improve or they become worse after using mebendazole. You can also call 800-222-1222 to reach the American Association of Poison Control Centers or use its online resource if you think you've used too much mebendazole. But if you have severe symptoms, call 911 (or your local emergency number) immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.
