The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ME/CFS Resource page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and the National Eczema Association. It is intended to provide information on eczema and to streamline and simplify the way those with eczema may find assistance paying for their medications. According to the NIH, ME/CFS is a condition of prolonged and severe tiredness or weariness (fatigue) that is not relieved by rest and is not directly caused by other conditions. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication. NeedyMeds and PANDORA neither promote nor endorse the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page. This page is for educational purposes only. | |
