WalMart Stores Inc. Launches Phase 2 of $4 Prescription Program

Walmrt%20Drug%20Program.jpgWalMart Store Inc. (NADSAQ: WMT) announced the launch of the second phase of their $4 prescription drug program. Phase 2 offers more medicines in more categories like attention deficit disorder, glaucoma, fungal infections and acne. Fertility and prescription birth control will also be included at a price of $9 for a month's supply. Also included is savings on new-to-market generic drugs such as Carvedilol and Coreg.

Walmart now offers 361 prescription products that cover up to 95% of the prescriptions written and includes a list of cover medications on its website.

"This program has exceeded all of our expectations," said Bill Simon, executive vice president, chief operating officer, Wal-Mart Stores Division. "So many Americans rely on our $4 prescription program to get the medicines they need. Phase two of the program is a welcome move that brings additional value and choice to our pharmacy customers, and we'll continue to look for new ways to drive costs out of the healthcare system."
