Supermarket Company Offers 90-day Prescriptions for $10 and Increases the
Number of Women's Health Medications Offered at a Discount
LOS ANGELES, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, Food 4 Less
in-store pharmacies will expand its generic drug program -- offering
customers lower prices and additional drug choices to meet their health
needs. The retailer is offering 90-day prescriptions for only $10 on its
expanded generic drug program. Food 4 Less pharmacies are also increasing
the number of women's health medications offered at a discounted price.
This new initiative expands the program Food 4 Less introduced in
February that provides a $4 price for hundreds of generic drugs prescribed
in 30-day supplies. It also complements several other programs Food 4 Less
is offering customers to help them stretch their household budgets,
including:
* Food 4 Less' everyday low prices.
* Food 4 Less' unmatched line of quality private label products offered
at great prices.
"Our expanded generic drug program is another example of the many ways
we at Food 4 Less are making it easier for customers to stretch their
dollars farther for the staples they need for their families," said Dave
Hirz, President of Food 4 Less Stores. "Our customers can continue to rely
on the expert health counsel and friendly service Food 4 Less' team of
professional pharmacists consistently offer."
Expanded Women's Health Generics
Food 4 Less said it is also increasing the number of women's health
medications it offers at a discounted price. They include drugs such as
tamoxifen to treat breast cancer, combination estrogen/methyltestosterone
for hormone replacement, as well as Alendronate, the generic version of
osteoporosis medication Fosamax(R).

About Generic Drugs
Generic drugs are as safe and effective as brand name drugs (according
to federal law, they must be therapeutically equivalent to brand name
drugs) yet cost significantly less. After a company's exclusive right to
market a medication expires, other companies are allowed to develop generic
equivalents -- usually at a much lower cost.
Due to state laws, certain drugs are priced higher than $4 (for up to
30-day supplies) and $10 (for 90-day supplies) in California.
