The research-based pharmaceutical industry has had a long-standing
tradition of providing prescription medicines free of charge to
physicians whose patients might not otherwise have access to necessary
medicines.

To make it easier for physicians to identify the growing number of
programs available for needy patients, member companies of the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) created
this directory. It lists company programs that provide drugs to
physicians whose patients could not otherwise afford them. The programs
are listed alphabetically by company. Under the entry for each program
is information about how to make a request for assistance, what
prescription medicines are covered, and basic eligibility criteria.For
additional copies of this directory, please call (800) 762-4636.

Other web sites provide information about government-supported and
private patient assistance programs.
