The Pfizer MAINTAIN Program (Medicines Assistance for Those who Are In Need) provides free Pfizer medicines to qualified patients, delivered right to their home. This program can help eligible patients who have recently become unemployed and are uninsured continue receiving their Pfizer medicines.
Applications for enrollment into the Pfizer MAINTAIN Program will be accepted through December 31, 2010. Program participants will receive their Pfizer medicines for free for up to one year, or until they become insured again, whichever comes first.
As a result of Pfizer and Wyeth coming together, Pfizer is extending the benefits of the MAINTAIN program to people who need help staying on their Wyeth medicines if they are unemployed and uninsured. For more information or to apply, please call 1-800-568-9938.
With the Pfizer MAINTAIN Program, qualified patients can get many branded
Pfizer primary care medicines for free.
