Talking to your pharmacist

When you bring your prescription to your pharmacist, you may be told that a generic medication is available that may be less expensive. Remember, only LUNESTA is LUNESTA. There is no generic equivalent. Simply ask that your prescription for LUNESTA be filled as written by your physician.

If your healthcare professional has prescribed LUNESTA, don't let a co-pay stand in your way. The LUNESTA Rest for Less™ Savings Program allows you to save up to $50 on each of your next 12 prescription fills each calendar year, resulting in a $0 copay for many patients. Restrictions may apply. For complete details, see our program rules.

So if you're eligible for the Rest for Less Savings Program, your co-pay could actually be less than the cost of a generic. An activated co-pay card is all you need to get LUNESTA for as low as a $0 co-pay. ^†

When you talk with your pharmacist, it may help to explain that:

• You and your physician have decided LUNESTA is the right medication for you.
• LUNESTA has been prescribed based on your symptoms, type of insomnia, and medical history.
• There is no generic equivalent of LUNESTA.

What if your pharmacist tells you LUNESTA is not covered by your plan?

• Find out what limitations your coverage may have.
• Ask if there are any requirements you need to meet.
• If another medication is recommended by your pharmacist, get the name, indication, and dosage for your healthcare professional to review.

Follow up with your healthcare professional about any questions you may have. Your healthcare professional will work with you to meet your insurer's requirements and guide you through the approval process.
